The CICS® Transaction Storage Summary display can be important when a transaction's storage has been overlaid by another task, as it helps identify transactions whose storage was near or adjacent to the overlay. When Fault Analyzer is invoked to analyze a CICS® transaction abend, the storage allocations of all other concurrently running tasks are gathered. This information can then be displayed, during interactive reanalysis, in the CICS® transaction storage summary display.

The display has two point-and-shoot fields, "Current" and "All", which toggle the display accordingly.

You also can display CICS® transaction storage by using the CICSSTG command. See CICSSTG.
