Printing a CICS resource

To display one of the Print Entry panels, select option 2 ("Print") from the ZDT/CICS Utility panel.

You can use the ZDT/CICS Print utility to print a CICS resource in a selected format. Data can be printed by record or by field if a template or copybook has been provided. Records can be selected for printing using the start key (VSAM only), skip and print count fields and a conditional expression defined in the template provided. The output for the Print function is controlled by the SET options.

The following restrictions apply when printing a CICS resource:

CICS files: only VSAM files with read and browse access are supported.
CICS extrapartition queues must be INPUT.

Note: After printing a intrapartition queue you are prompted to restore the queue items.

Other elements of the Print function are described in Printing from Z Data Tools in the Z Data Tools User’s Guide and Reference.
