DSECTs (2.D)

The DSECTs screen (2.D) displays CICS control blocks that are formatted as Assembler DSECTs for a given area in a format that includes field names, field lengths and attributes, and data. XPSP users can use the DSECTs-9-D screen to make updates.

Important

Many areas are protected from update for XPED/XPRT users.

Type over the data on the hexadecimal display portion of the screen.
Type over the translated section on the right side of the screen between the asterisks with actual character values.

Input Fields

TABLE/AREA

Table or area to be displayed. Valid entries are:

CLOT: CICS life of task block (Db2 only)
CSA: Common system area
DCT: Destination control table
EIB: Execute interface block
EIS: Execute interface storage
FCT: File control table
OFL: Optional features list
PCT: Program control table
PLIST: Parameter list (Db2 only)
PPT: Processing program table
RCT: Resource control table (Db2 only)
SIT: System initialization table
SQLCA: SQL common area (Db2 only)
SQLDA: SQL description area (Db2 only)
STCA: System task control area

User-defined DSECTs. For more information, see the Code Debug CICS Advanced Configuration space section entitled “Defining and Displaying User-Defined DSECTs”.

Important

If a PPT or PCT entry is requested from this field, Code Debug CICS automatically transfers to the Task-Storage-Display-2-S screen. If the RCT is requested from this field, Code Debug automatically transfers to the Task-Storage-Display-2-S screen.

To position the display at the correct area of storage, specify a TABLE/AREA, a LABEL, or both.

TABLE ENTRY ID

Entry to access in the table or area. Type the table entry name for direct retrieval of the requested area. When no entry is specified, the display starts with the beginning of the table.

LABEL

Indicates the label where the display should begin in a CICS DSECT.
