PROGRAMS - Programs summary

The PROGRAMS view shows summarized information about currently installed programs. PROGRAMS is a summary form of the PROGRAM view.

Availability

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

Access

Issue command:
PROGRAMS [program [ENABLED|DISABLED]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for PROGRAM (see PROGRAM - Programs).

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

The PROGRAMS view looks like the PROGRAM view shown in Figure 80 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 171 shows the action commands you can issue from the PROGRAMS view. These action commands affect all of the resources that were combined to form the summary line of data. The overtype fields are shown in Table 172.

The action commands and overtype fields for the PROGRAMS view are available for all managed CICS systems for which PROGRAMS is valid, except as noted in Table 171 and Table 172.
