You need to be clearer in stating what you are trying to do. Are you trying to call the program to have it execute in a CICS region? Do you want to call a program that just happens to be used in a CICS regions?

If a program has no EXEC CICS commands within it, it can be called from CICS or batch - If called in CICS, it executes in the CICS region . If called in batch it executes in the batch region.

You can not CALL a CICS program from batch.

requires writing your own EXCI.
