This section introduces the Code Debug CICS file utility, which displays lists of resources that you can access under CICS, including VSAM and BDAM data sets, DL/1 databases, Db2 data, transient data, temporary storage queues, and MQ queues. Choose the resource you want to access from these lists and perform any of the displayed service requests.

Once a resource is selected, Code Debug CICS displays the records in that resource. You can then add, delete, or modify the records. Security is available to restrict update and delete access. To provide audit capabilities, Code Debug’s Log Facility gives sites the option of logging all changes made to supported resources. For more information, see to the Code Debug CICS Installation and Configuration Guide.

This section shows how to browse records in a file and change file service requests. During these exercises, you will resolve two abends, AEIM and AEIP, that can occur when working with VSAM files.

Important

The demonstrations in this section 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.
