Is it possible to debug the CICS program without debugger? I know CEDF can execute CICS transactions but I am looking is there anything else that can use to debug the CICS program without debugger?

Using CEDX with a transaction id will stop the program and allow you to step through it and view memory

Batch job is a normal job where no human interference is done, but in online job human interference is required. For ex bank transaction, it needs the input or replay should be given by user.

It is possible to execute a CICS program from a job batch where the batch program must be compiled with EXCI parameter. In this case the batch program is able to perform a command level CALL, then a existing CICS program is invoked, after executed, the control returns to batch program.
