CECI - command-level interpreter
Use CECI, which invokes the CICS command-level interpreter, to enter an EXEC CICS command, check its syntax, and modify it if required. In most cases, you can also process the command.
For programming information on each EXEC CICS command, see the CICS API command summary or CICS SPI command summary .
For details of how to use the CECI transaction, see Command-level interpreter (CECI) , which includes an example of a complete session with CECI.

Press ENTER to get a list of all EXEC
CICS commands. If you then enter the command or its abbreviation
on the top line and press ENTER, you get a complete display of the syntax
for that command.CECI asktime
In both cases, you can usually go on to check the syntax of the command, change it if required, and then process the command.
Many CICS system programming commands use CVDA values and CECI shows numeric equivalents for these. See CICS-value data areas (CVDAs) for programming information, including a translation of these numeric values to their alphabetic values.
