Input fields

The input fields are defined as follows:

Field

Description

Copy to file

The name of the new Program Inventory file to which the selected records should be copied. Defaults to the Inventory Copy file from the CICS Program Inventory Datasets screen. Any valid CICS Program Inventory file may be entered here. Changing this field on this screen does not change the “Inventory Copy” entry on the CICS Program inventory Datasets screen.

Replace records

Whether or not duplicate members are to be replaced on the “copy to file.” A member is considered to be a duplicate if the module, CSECT, and compile date and time are equal. Valid values are YES, NO, and ALL:

Value

Description

YES

Only existing members that match date and time will be overwritten.

NO

Duplicate entries will not be overwritten. This is the default.

ALL

Any matching member will be overwritten.

Number of pending copy records

The number of detail lines the user has entered a copy line command on prior to entering the COPY primary command. Records with status “COPY PEND” plus any other members indicated in the global copy section will be copied to the “copy to file.”

Module name

The desired module within the source file you wish to copy to the new Program Inventory file. Trailing asterisks (*) may only be used as wildcards at the end of this field, not in the middle.

CSECT

The CSECT within the desired source module that you are copying to the new Program Inventory file. Trailing asterisks (*) may only be used as wildcards at the end of this field, not in the middle.

Compile date

The date on which the records to be copied were compiled. The date format is CCYYMMDD (century, year, month, and day). If no compile date is entered, this field defaults to an asterisk (*).

Compile time

The time at which the records to be copied were compiled. The time format is HHMMSS (hour, minute, and second). If no compile time is entered, this field defaults to an asterisk (*).

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
