FILES - Files summary

The FILES view shows summarized information about CICS files. FILES is a summary form of the FILE view.

Availability

The FILES view is available for all managed CICS® systems.

Access

Issue command:
FILES [file [CTABL|LFILE|RFILE|UTABL]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for FILE (see FILE - Files).

Select:
FILE from the OPERATE menu, and FILES from the FILE submenu.
Summarize:
Issue the SUM display command from a FILE or FILES view.

The FILES view looks like the FILE view shown in Figure 66 with one addition: the Count field. This field appears next to the CICS System field, and indicates how many resources were combined to form each line of summary data.

By default, the view is summarized by CICS system. If you place the cursor on a field of data and issue the SUM display command, the view is summarized by the data in that field.

Action commands

There are no action commands or overtype fields for the FILES view. To change a file's status or attributes, use one of the other file views, such as CMDT, LOCFILE, or REMFILE.

Hyperlinks

From the FILES view, you can hyperlink from the Count field to the FILE view to expand a line of summary data. The FILE view includes only those resources that were combined to form the specified summary line.
