REMFILES - Remote files summary

The REMFILES view shows summarized information about remote CICS files. REMFILES is a summary form of the REMFILE view.

Availability

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

Access

Issue command:
REMFILES [file [rem-file]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for REMFILE (see REMFILE - Remote files).

Select:
FILE from the OPERATE menu, and REMFILES from the FILE submenu.
Summarize:

The REMFILES view looks like the REMFILE view shown in Figure 73 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.
