Inventory file

The Inventory File is the default Program Inventory file that will be accessed by the CICS Program Inventory Maintenance utility. Specifying an alternative data set name on the CICS Program Inventory Maintenance screen will override this data set. The directory of the inventory file appears on entry to the CICS Program Inventory Maintenance utility. The Inventory File serves as the source file for the Copy and Export functions, the destination file for the Import function and populate function.

Inventory copy

The Inventory Copy file is the default destination file for the Copy function. The source file is the “Inventory file” defined for the Copy function. The source file is the “Inventory file” defined above. The Inventory Copy File may be overridden by the “Copy to file” on the Copy pop-up window.

Inventory EXP

The Inventory EXP file is the default destination file for the Export function. The source file is the “Inventory File” defined above. The Inventory EXP File may be overridden by the “Export to file” on the Export pop-up window.

Inventory IMP

The Inventory IMP file is the default source file for the Import function. The destination file is the “Inventory File” defined above. The Inventory IMP File may be overridden by the “Import from file” on the Import pop-up window.

Excludes file

The Excludes file is used by the populate function of the CICS Program Inventory Maintenance screen. This file is used to exclude load modules and CSECTs from being added to the Program Inventory file. The installer of Code Coverage usually creates this file.
