CICS® report

A CICS® report consists of a header page and, if the dependency data file contains interdependency records, one or more pages of interdependency records.

Example CICS report from the Dependency Reporter—header page shows an example header page and Example CICS report from the Dependency Reporter—main body an example page of interdependency records.

The report lists all the CICS® commands that were collected by the Collector and (because this is a CICS® dependency report) selected in the CMDGRPS DD statement of the CIUJCLRP job. The report entries contain the following information:

Tran

The identifier of the CICS® transaction under which the command was issued.

Program

The name of the program that issued the command.

Offset

The offset, from the load point of the program, of the BALR instruction of the command detected. The Dependency Reporter produces an offset of -1 (X'FFFFFFFF') if it could not determine an offset; that is, if either of the following is true:

The program was defined with RELOAD(YES).
The offset calculated is not within the program, which might indicate that the program or perhaps language runtime code has passed control to another program by using a non-CICS mechanism, for example, a VS COBOL II dynamic call.

Note:

This offset is not the same as the offset given by the Load Module Scanner. For an EXEC CICS® command, the offset given by the Load Module Scanner is the offset of the command argument 0 declaration from the start of the load module. See Correlating Load Module Scanner and Dependency Reporter output to source.
An output of X'FFFFFFFF' indicates that individual commands cannot be directly located in a program. The program must be scanned for all instances of the command, because more than one instance might be present.

Command

The command that was detected.

Resource

The resource against which the command was issued, causing a dependency between it and the named program.

Sysid

If the command was shipped or routed to a remote CICS® region, the system identifier of the remote region.

Usage

The number of times that this command, with the same CICS® APPLID, SYSID, transaction, program, offset, resource, remote SYSID, remote name, command group, command function and program length has been detected.

First Run

The date and time at which this command, with the same CICS® APPLID, SYSID, transaction, program, offset, resource, remote SYSID, remote name, command group, command function and program length, was first detected. Times are shown in local time.

Last Run

Term

Whether or not the transaction was associated with a terminal.

TCBmode

The CICS® TCB mode at the time the command was executed.
