Editing CICS tables and control blocks (Code Debug CICS COBOL)

This section discusses how to use the XPSP transaction to perform the following functions:

  • Access and modify CICS table entries, storage, and control blocks defined to a CICS region.
  • Use Code Debug CICS to modify CICS tables online without taking the region down.

Important

The demonstrations in this topic should be performed in Code Debug’s standard operating mode — not one of the three restricted modes. For more information, see the Code Debug CICS Reference Manual.

Editing a CICS table entry

The following scenario demonstrates how to edit a CICS table entry on either the Memory Display screen (9.2) or the DSECTs screen (9.D).

Important

  • This scenario applies to VTAM terminals only.
  • Because the example removes upper case translation by overtyping a field in the TCT, causing CICS not to recognize a lower case transaction name, you may want to just read the example without actually replacing the value.

This section prvides more information about the following topics:
