1. How can we pass data from batch to CICS?

2. Can we delete a GDG version using IDCAMS. I know that we use DELETE PURGE and FORCE, but they delete base cluster as well all the generations. But can i delete a particular generation using IDCAMS.

3. Apart from COMMAREA, is there any way to pass data from one program to another program?

4. Is there any other way to select the second or third max value in a column..apart from the below query.
select max(sal) from table where sal < (select max(sal) from table)

madhuri.komatireddy,

1. Using EXCI, a batch job can either EXEC CICS LINK to a program in a CICS region, and can optionally pass or exchange data in a COMMAREA. or a batch job can allocate and open a "pipe" to the CICS region, and issue any number of DPL calls to a CICS program, optionally
passing or exchanging data in a COMMAREA.

2. Yes you can. Just give the complete name of GDG version you want to delete in sysin cards to IDCAMS

3. TSQ & TDQ's
