This example uses a suite of COBOL programs and BMS mapsets to display menu screens and transfer control to programs that will perform various application and utilitarian functions such as links between menu programs and data file inquiry or update programs. The programs use command level CICS statements and display information to a 3270 terminal or terminal emulator. The programs run on an IBM Mainframe System with CICS or a Microsoft Windows System with Micro Focus Server for Mainframe Migration.
To display the menu of options on a 3270 display a COBOL program and a BMS screen are used. The Main Menu Screen contains a list of options. Once an option is selected an EXEC CICS LINK is used to pass control to the appropriate program and perform the requested function.
The primary menu (or main menu) provides links to other menu screens. The transaction identifier (or Tran ID) to display the main menu is "MM01" and the program is "MN1APP". The following shows the main menu screen.

Note: The following sections describe the options available from the main menu.
This main menu option provides links to the data file inquiry and update programs for the Customer Master File and the Item Master File. The transaction identifier (or Tran ID) to display the menu for file and VSAM Data Set access is "OPT1" and the program name is "MN1FMS". The following shows the main menu screen.

This example uses a suite of COBOL programs and BMS mapsets to Access Files and VSAM Data Sets that will do inquiries, and updates to existing records and allow adding of new records.
The menu for relational data base management provides links to programs for reading rows, updating rows or inserting rows in a Relational Data Table. The transaction identifier (or Tran ID) to display the main menu is "AMSQ" and the program is "MN1SQL". The following shows the menu screen.
