Hi,

I am new to CICS. I am working for a project which has CICS online screens. But we don't have any CICS online unit test environment to unit test our changes to online screens. Is there a way I can simulate an online enviroment? If there is one, I would like to know the details. Please help.

If you don't have test environment then how is your modification verified, somebody must be unit testing it. There has to be some test region.

Back when I at college (NIU 1985 - 1991) I took a CICS course that used a batch testing tool. NIU did not have resources to give each student a stand alone region. I believe it was an IBM batch tool that brought up a minimal CICS region and pushed through a predefined set of screen interactions (defined by our teacher). The tool captured before and after screen images and of course any errors that occured. I have no idea if this tool is still supported. However I would strongly suggest getting a unit test region setup as ultimagtely this allows for more flexible and realistic testing.
