I dont see any special handling required for CICS screens.

In COBOL program make sure you are issuing IMS PCB call, also EXEC DLI should be used, you need to check the UIB status code before checking for DLI status code, may be at the end you can issue TERM call to commit all your changes.

Screens are not directly related to an IMS DB. It's the application gathering data to fill messages to be sent out and it's also the application to care of handling the data in returned messages towards an IMS DB.
