CICS/Menu II gives you an easy way to present your CICS applications to your end-users without them having to memorize cryptic transaction ids. All users will see a consistent point of entry and never have to see a blank screen. Group profiles allow you to present each user with only the applications they need to see. Menus can be nested and an optional user exit allows pre-display customizing with CICS/Menu II. INPUTMSG data can be passed to applications. You can pre-check transaction security using an interface to MacKinney Systems CICS/SignOn or your own user exit. Administration can be off spread between group administrators.
