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

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.
