Nope. Not true about the MQ Stub. There's one for CICS, and another for batch.

Hi,

if you compile your Cobol-programs with the compiler option WORD(CICS) and
no EXEC CICS commands
you can use them in both environment.

For DB2 you need to have to different load, because your need
DSNALI/DSNELI/DSNRLI
for batch and DSNCLI for CICS, but you can have the same source.

As far as I remember the MQ-stub is environment-indpendent.

If you need some CICS service you should look to find an alternate LE
callable service
in case of some EXEC CICS commnds (e.g. GETMAIN, ASKTIME/ABSTIME)
