Document handler guide

The XCICS document handler reproduces as close as possible the IBM CICS document handler. It allows you to build up formatted data areas, known as documents. Some examples of how these formatted areas, or documents, can be used, are:

•	Constructing a COMMAREA.

•	Sending HTML data to be displayed by a Web client.

•	Creating standard formats for printing (for example, using your own letterhead, address, and so on).

•	DOCUMENT CREATE

•	DOCUMENT INSERT

•	DOCUMENT RETRIEVE

•	DOCUMENT SET
