Managing Source Files

We recommend that you always use source support to make the best use of Abend-AID for CICS. Source support gives you many additional diagnostic benefits such as displaying your actual source code and providing an enhanced program listing with merged data that is easy to read and does not require any hexadecimal calculations. To obtain source support for your COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler programs, you need to modify your compile/link-edit JCL to use the COBOL language processor, the PL/I language processor, and the Assembler language processor. Refer to the Common Shared Services User/Reference Guidefor more information about the COBOL, PL/I, and Assembler language processors.

This section describes how to manage source files and source shared directories using the Source Directory screen. From this screen you can display user-defined source data sets, and after you select a transaction abend, you can access the source data sets allocated to the CICS region at the time of the abend. In addition to the Source Directory, the following screens are described:
