Specifying resource names in Z Data Tools ("base")
The following functions in Z Data Tools (option
"HFM" on the Primary Options Menu panel
within ZDT/CICS) also accept a CICS resource
name in the primary data set field as well as the supported MVS data set names.
To distinguish the CICS resource name from an MVS data set name, the following
prefixes (including the colon character) are used:
Note: The options below are from the Z Data Tools
("base") main menu, not the ZDT/CICS
main menu.
| Functon | Option |
|---|---|
| View | 1 |
| Edit | 2 |
| Data create | 3.1 |
| 3.2 | |
| Copy | 3.3 |
| Find/Change | 3.6 |
| Compare | 3.11 |
- FI:
- CICS file
- TS:
- CICS temporary storage queue
- TD:
- CICS transient data queue
The name following the resource follows the same rules as the resource names
described above. For example, you could specify
FI:CICSFI01.
Note: Z Data Tools ("base") functions can only be
used with local CICS resources (resources owned by the CICS region running
ZDT/CICS).
A resource selection list is produced when a generic resource name is entered.
