A Day In The Life Of A Programmer v1.0 (COMIC)

Top 5 Classic Games on the iPhone

Doom Classic.
Doom continues its dominance over every electronic device that has a display with the release of Doom Classic.
 Vay
The Sega CD is one of those systems that never really got a fair shake, and Vay is proof of that. Released into the App Store during the initial launch window, Vay was overshadowed by new games like Enigmo and Trism, and while both are good in their own right, neither of them are a classic RPG from Working Designs on a system that most people never played. If random encounters and sprites make up what you think is a good game, 
Giana Sisters
What? You've never heard of the Giana Sisters? Well, perhaps you should bone up on your Nintendo history. The original game was developed for PCs back in 1987 before Nintendo slapped an injunction on the company releasing it saying that it was too much of a rip-off of Super Mario Bros
Final Fantasy
The game that saved Square and started the Final Fantasy series can now be worshipped in the App Store. The first, and arguably the best, in the FF series takes you back to where it all began, and puts you in the role of the Light Warriors as they set out to save the world
Myst
If you're one of those people that have room for a little more confusion in your life, or if you just like to get your brain juices flowing, then it's time that you finally get around to playing the classic adventure game Myst. Originally released in 1993

Why stop run is not used when we use CICS in the COBOL program?

When we submit job in CICS that will be submitted to CICS Server When we use exec return
statement then that job is submitted to MVS but when we write stop run it will be directly submitted to
MVS but the MVS does not understand COBOL so it gives errors.
Use 'return' statement to terminate your program

How Do you run/execute the Program/Job in a specific time/date in CICS?

I don't think that ASKTIME command is going to work here as this only gives you the current date and time. If you want to start the task at a particular time you can use

EXEC CICS START
TIME(HHMMSS)
END-EXEC.

This will start the CICS task at the time specified. But I have no idea about giving the dates

What is GETMAIN and FREEMAIN? What are the restrictions while using GETMAIN and FREEMAIN?

The concept of CICS GETMAIN is simply to provide the programmer the capacity of obtaining additional storage to augment storage acquired automatically by his program (e.g. WORKING-STORAGE in a COBOL program). The programmer may define certain fields (01 Levels) in the LINKAGE SECTION that may require the use of a GETMAIN to obtain the storage. These fields are usually output fields that are not passed to the program by another program (caller).

In the case of input fields the use of the SET can be used to point to the acquired area or a calling program can pass the address to the called program. The acquired area from a GETMAIN can be above or below the line. In addition storage acquired by a normal GETMAIN can be explicitly released by a FREEMAIN or automatically released when the task ends by CICS. However a program can acquire SHARED storage that comes out of the SDSA/ESDSA that requires an explict FREEMAIN as this type of storage is not automatically released at task end. The use of shared storage requires more control as incorrect use can quickly deplete the (E) DSA storage available.

How do I find the name of the CICS region inside my COBOL program?

EXEC CICS
ASSIGN APPLID (COMM-HOLD-REGION-ID)
RESP (WS-CICS-RESPONSE)
END-EXEC.
.
.
test WS-CICS-RESPONES code here for '00'
.
.
EVALUATE COMM-HOLD-REGION-ID
WHEN 'TESTREG

WHEN 'PRODREG'

WHEN OTHER

END-EVALUATE.

What is Mainframe Testing?

Similar to client-service applications testing but you have to know how to operate basic TSO and ISPF commands and menus view mainframe files look at and use SDSF or other output tool log on CICS and transactions use FTP or another transfer protocol submit the batch job - it's for QA testing of mainframe applications.
And plus QA testing for another platform like WEB and/or client-service since the mainframe is usually back-end.
It can be learned pretty quickly but it needs an access to mainframe.
