It is generally not valid to do z/OS system services, such as PCs or SVCs, in a CICS application program. Some things will work. Other things will abend. A few things might corrupt CICS. There is a CICS equivalent to the GETMAIN, but it is not usable in batch. And I _must_ have only a single version of the source. If I didn't that would make things "too complicated" for the programmers and would be a "disruptive" change.
