The screen shows unprotected areas critical to the operation and protection of the CICS region. All tables and areas accessed may be updated interactively. The integrity of CICS control areas is the responsibility of the XPSP user.

Data Area

The data area may be changed in one of two ways:

  • Overtype the data on the hexadecimal display portion of the screen.
  • Overtype the translated section (between the asterisks on the right side of the screen) with the actual character values.

Input Fields

Important

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

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 communication area (Db2 only)
  • SQLDA: SQL descriptor area (Db2 only)
  • STCA: System portion of TCA
  • TCA: Task control area
  • TCT: Terminal control table
  • User-defined DSECTs. For more information, see the Code Debug CICS Advanced Configuration space section entitled “Defining-and-Displaying-User-Defined-DSECTs”.

Important

The PCT and PPT table entry keywords are no longer supported. When a PPT or PCT entry is requested, Code Debug CICS automatically transfers to the CICS Resources (2.R) screen and displays the attributes of the requested resource. Transfer to this screen occurs whether or not the resource is defined.

The RCT table entry keyword is no longer supported. When the RCT is requested, Code Debug automatically transfers to the CICS Resources (2.R) screen and displays the attributes of the requested resource.

TABLE ENTRY ID

Name of the desired entry for the table entered.

LABEL

Label that positions the display at a specific label in a CICS DSECT.
