Editing CAS definitions

To edit the CAS definitions in a CAS definition member (BBMTYBxx) in the parameter (UBBPARM) library, you must first obtain an edit lock. An edit lock protects the validity of the CAS definition member and ensures that two different users don’t enter conflicting changes concurrently. 

 In edit mode you can:

  • Add CAS definitions
  • Change CAS definitions
  • Cancel CAS definition edits
  • Delete CAS definitions
  • Recover deleted CAS definitions
  • Save CAS definition changes to the CAS definition member

To edit CAS definitions

From either the CASDEF or CASDEFD view, enter EDIT on the COMMAND line. The status field on the window information line is changed from (00 BROWSE  ) to (00 EDIT  ). This indicates that the edit lock is active.

Important

Using the END command (or its corresponding PF key) while you are in edit mode deactivates the edit lock. The status field on the window information line is changed from (00 EDIT  ) or (00 EDIT  MOD   ), to (00 BROWSE  ). Once the edit lock is deactivated, any CAS definitions that were deleted from the member cannot be recovered.
