In COBOL-DB2 Program you have "EXEC SQL" appearing somewhere in the program, at least once.

In COBOL-CICS Program you have "EXEC CICS" appearing somewhere in the program, at least once.

Absence of above two means your program can be a just COBOL-program but then you might be dealing with IMS DB - search for EXEC DLI or CBLTDLI -- if they are present, you are looking at COBOL-IMS program.

Well, I believe - above sentence, in a way, answers your first question.

For second question, sugggest you read about BMS and ATTRB.
