CMDTS - Data tables summary

The CMDTS view shows summarized information about files that have CICS- or user-maintained data tables, or coupling facility data tables, associated with them. CMDTS is a summary form of the CMDT view.

Availability

The CMDTS view is available for all managed CICS® systems except CICS for Windows.

Access

Issue command:
CMDTS [file [CFTABLE|CICSTABLE|USERTABLE]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for CMDT (see CMDT - Data tables).

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

The CMDTS view looks like the CMDT view shown in Figure 57 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

Table 119 shows the action commands you can issue from the CMDTS view. These action commands affect all of the resources that were combined to form the summary line of data. The overtype field is shown in Table 120.

The action commands and overtype fields for the CMDTS view are available for all managed CICS systems for which CMDTS is valid, except as noted in Table 119.

Table 119. CMDTS view action commands
Primary command Line command Description
n/a CLS Displays the CLOSE OPTIONS input panel (Figure 58), which lets you specify how to handle a data table file if it is still in use. When a data table file has been enabled by an OPEN action command, CLS disables the file.
n/a DIS Displays the DISABLE OPTIONS input panel (Figure 58), which lets you specify how to handle a data table file if it is still in use.
n/a DSC Discards a data table file from the CICS system where it is installed.
n/a ENA Enables a data table file.
n/a OPE Opens a data table file. When the data table file has been disabled by a CLS action command, OPEN enables the file.
n/a SET Sets a data table file attribute according to the new value you specify in an overtype field (see Table 120).
Note:
The value you specified in the Require Set field on the CICSPlex® System Manager entry panel determines whether or not you must use the SET command when you overtype a field.
