Example 2: Searching and modifying a CICS® file
To search and modify a CICS® file, follow these steps:
- From the Primary Option Menu panel, select option 2 (Edit) to display the Edit Entry panel.
- In the Data set/path name field, type "
FI:CICSTST1" as shown in Figure 7.The "
FI:" indicates to File Manager that you want to edit one or more CICS® files, and the "CICSTST1" indicates that you want to edit the files from the CICS® application, CICSTST1.Figure 7.

When you specify the type of CICS® resource ("TD:", "TS:", or "FI:") and the CICS® application on an entry panel, but without specifying the name of the CICS® resource, File Manager next displays a selection list of the Transient Data Queues, Temporary Storage Queues, or files for the specified CICS® application. In this case, File Manager displays a list of CICS® files for the specified CICS® application (CICSTST1) as shown in Figure 8.
