Browse Temporary Storage (5.2.2)


The Browse Temporary Storage screen (5.2.2) allows sequential display of multiple records in a queued (multiple record) CICS temporary storage queue. You can browse data from this screen by using scrolling commands to move through the data. You can display data in character or vertical hexadecimal format and select individual records for updating.

Access this screen by typing the number 2.2 on the File-Utility-Menu-5, typing 2 on the Temporary-Storage-Menu-5-2, or as described in Transferring Between Screens.

The browse display begins at the first record in the queue. Access a record directly by changing the record number. Scroll through the file using the UP, DOWN, TOP and BOTTOM commands.

Use the FIND and RFIND commands to search for data. Code Debug CICS ends a search when it locates the requested data or after searching 100 records. Use RFIND to continue searching. The 100 record limit can be changed in the FILE_UTILITY_MAX_NOT_FOUND_COUNT global parameter. Use the LEFT and RIGHT commands to scroll left and right through the data.

Input Fields

SEL

Enter S to display/update a single record from the queue with the Edit Queued Record screen (5.2.3).

QUEUE NAME

Name of the queue written to temporary storage. Because a temporary storage queue is not restricted to displayable characters, this screen displays queue names in vertical hex format.

SYSID

System ID for shared temporary storage queues only. If this field still displays the system ID from a previous shared queue, it must be cleared before a different main or auxiliary queue can be browsed. The SYSID field is only filled in when using a temporary storage table (TST).

POOLID

POOLID for shared temporary storage queues only. If this field still displays the POOLID from a previous shared queue, it must be cleared before a different main or auxiliary queue can be browsed.

RECORD NUMBER

Record number of the first record displayed.

Output Fields

MAX RECLN

Maximum record size that can be used for the current CICS temporary storage resource being accessed.

REC #

Record number of the record in the queue.

RECLN

Length of the record.

I/O area

Data from the Code Debug CICS I/O area that can be displayed in two modes. Each mode supports different scrolling commands, as shown in File Utility Scrolling Commands. For more information, see Using the Code Debug CICS I/O Area.
