The attributes of a resource definition are listed in the first column,
and their associated values are listed in the second column. For example:
Status ==> Enabled Enabled ∨ Disabled
In this example:
Status is the attribute.
Enabled is the defined value.
Enabled ∨ Disabled shows the possible values.
When you see a '==>' symbol between an attribute and its value, it means
that you can change the value. The values that can be changed are also highlighted.
When you see a colon
(:) between an attribute and its value, it means that you cannot change the
value. This can be for several reasons:
- You do not have authority to change the values (for example, if you are
a CEDC user).
- You are using the VIEW command.
- The length of the attribute is such that the whole of the attribute does
not fit in the current screen view. In order to update the attribute value
you must first scroll half a screen forward (PF8) or backwards (PF7) until
the whole attribute is seen.
- The attribute is the resource name or the group name (in this example,
MAPSET name NEW1 and GROUP name AAA1).
- The attribute is obsolete for the current release of CICS (for example,
the RSL attribute). To change the value of obsolete attributes, you must use
the compatibility mode option, as described in the PF keys below.
