Hi, there are many ways to suspend and resume a transaction. The simplest way ist to code a Cobol-Program with a CONVERSE-Command. The CONVERSE sends data to a Terminal and waits (is beeing suspended)for a users response. But this is only one way. You can also code DELAY and WAIT-Constructs! Please read the CICS Apllication Programming Reference (and Guide)!
