CISC is a software which monitors telecommunications from...
- A.
  
  Yahoo!
- B.
  
  Google
- C.
  
  IBM
- D.
  
  Apple
Correct Answer
C. IBM

Explanation
IBM is the correct answer because it is a well-known technology company that has expertise in telecommunications. CISC, which stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer, is a type of computer architecture that is commonly used in telecommunications systems. IBM has a long history of providing telecommunications solutions and services, making it a suitable choice for a software that monitors telecommunications. Yahoo!, Google, and Apple are more focused on internet services and consumer technology, whereas IBM has a stronger presence in the telecommunications industry.

Which of these is a compilation of plan name DB2 along with the transaction identifier?
- A.
  
  TCT
- B.
  
  PPT
- C.
  
  RCT
- D.
  
  FCT
Correct Answer
C. RCT

Explanation
The correct answer is RCT. RCT stands for Resource Control Table, which is a compilation of plan name DB2 along with the transaction identifier. This table is used to manage and control resources in the DB2 database system. It helps in coordinating and tracking the execution of transactions within the database.

Which of these can be described as one-time execution of a CISC transaction?
- A.
  
  FCT
- B.
  
  CISC task
- C.
  
  CEMT
- D.
  
  Start
Correct Answer
B. CISC task

Explanation
A CISC task can be described as a one-time execution because it refers to a complex instruction set computer task, which typically involves multiple instructions and operations executed in a single task. Unlike other options like FCT (Function Call Table), CEMT (CICS Execution Modal Task), or Start, which may involve repeated or ongoing executions, a CISC task is typically performed once to complete a specific set of instructions.

When is a NEWCOPY required?
- A.
  
  When a file has never been run
- B.
  
  When a file is very old
- C.
  
  When a file is run and recompiled
- D.
  
  When a file is changed
Correct Answer
C. When a file is run and recompiled

Explanation
A NEWCOPY is required when a file is run and recompiled. This means that whenever a file is executed and then modified, it needs to be recompiled with the changes. This ensures that the latest version of the file is used and any updates or modifications are incorporated into the program's execution.

Which of these is a run way task that is executed at a later stage?
- A.
  
  AICA ABEND
- B.
  
  ENQ
- C.
  
  DEQ
- D.
  
  EIB
Correct Answer
A. AICA ABEND

Explanation
AICA ABEND refers to an abnormal end of a program due to an internal error or fault. It is a runtime task that occurs at a later stage when the program is executing. ENQ, DEQ, and EIB are not related to runtime tasks or program execution.

7.

Which of these is attached to all tasks and stays with a particular task till it is executed?
- A.
  
  DEQ
- B.
  
  EIB
- C.
  
  JCT
- D.
  
  TSQ
Correct Answer
B. EIB

Explanation
The EIB (Execution Interface Block) is attached to all tasks and stays with a particular task until it is executed. It contains information about the task, such as the input and output parameters, the task status, and any error messages. The EIB allows for communication and coordination between different tasks within a system.

8.

What command do you use to read a statement from TSQ?
- A.
  
  Permanent storage read command
- B.
  
  Call command
- C.
  
  Read command
- D.
  
  Temporary storage read command
Correct Answer
D. Temporary storage read command

Explanation
The correct answer is "Temporary storage read command" because when you want to read a statement from a Temporary Storage Queue (TSQ), you would use the temporary storage read command. This command allows you to retrieve data that has been previously stored in the TSQ.

What is the meaning of PPT?
- A.
  
  Plan Program Table
- B.
  
  Program Processing Table
- C.
  
  Programming Process Task
- D.
  
  Popular Program Table
Correct Answer
B. Program Processing Table

Explanation
The meaning of PPT is Program Processing Table. This term refers to a table or chart that outlines the sequence of steps or processes involved in executing a program or task. It helps in organizing and understanding the various stages and operations required for successful program execution.

Which of these is a compilation of all the respective tables in CISC?
- A.
  
  FCT
- B.
  
  JCT
- C.
  
  RCT
- D.
  
  TCT
Correct Answer
D. TCT

Explanation
TCT stands for Table Compilation Table, which is a compilation of all the respective tables in CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing). CISC is a type of computer architecture that emphasizes complex instructions and aims to reduce the number of instructions needed to perform a task. The TCT contains all the necessary information and data from various tables, allowing the CPU to efficiently execute instructions in a CISC-based system.
