Explanation

To read from a Temporary Storage Queue (TSQ) in CICS, you use the Temp Storage READ command (READQ TS). TSQs provide temporary data storage that can be accessed by subsequent transactions. The exact command syntax is READQ TS.

AI explanation

A Temporary Storage Queue (TSQ) in CICS is read using the temporary-storage read command (EXEC CICS READQ TS), which retrieves a record previously written to temp storage by item number or key. It's distinct from permanent storage (VSAM/DB) reads and from transient data queue handling, so the other options describe unrelated or nonexistent mechanisms.
