9.2.1 Input CICS Data Dictionary

In this phase of processing, the CICS Dictionary File
DETAIL.CICCDC01 is loaded in a table in storage which is
managed by a special routine, CICVMAM.  The dictionary is
used to drive the input processing for both CMF and The
Monitor data.  The dictionary describes each element within a
CICS record:  the element's field ID, the type of data, and
its length.  This information is used by the special INFORMAT
$CICDEP to input, convert, and place the CICS data into SAS
data variables.

The $CICDEP INFORMAT is also used to process data from The
Monitor.  During this phase, a dictionary is constructed in
memory to describe The Monitor data.

No user exits are invoked during this phase.

The first part of Figure 9-2 outlines the flow of this phase.
