Files

The file views show information about CICS files within the current context and scope. Information is available about local shared resource (LSR) pools, and for all types of CICS files, including local and remote files, and files that have CICS- or user-maintained data tables associated with them.

Notes:
  1. The information provided in file views can vary depending on when you issue the view command. If a file is closed, for example, much of the information reflects the state the file will be in the next time it is opened. If a file has never been opened, some information is not available, so you receive default or null values; these values may change once the file is opened.
  2. The term data table file is used in this § to mean a file that has a CICS- or user-maintained data table associated with it.
  3. In CICS® Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 2 Release 2 and later releases CICSPlex® SM data set name fields such as DSNAME, and file name fields such as LOCFILE and REMFILE are case-sensitive. When entering data set and file names into the CICSPlex SM interfaces (EUI, API and WUI), ensure that you enter the data in the correct case. In earlier releases of CICSPlex SM, the data set names and file names are automatically converted to upper case.
