You can use almost any dataset in CICS by defining it as Extrapartition Transient Data Queue.

Thank you and can you please tell me in detail.
I think in Extrapartition Transient Data queue each record can only be read once as records are automatically deleted when we read.
So how can we read them next time.

Thanks

As far as I know - records are being deleted only with DELETEQ TD. To read more about transient data queues, please refer to the fine manual.
