Editing transient data queues

  2. Type 1 on the command line.
  3. Press Enter.

    FM/CICS displays the View Transient Data Entry panel.

To edit transient data in Edit:

  1. Select 3. Transient Data on the Primary Option Menu panel.
  2. Type 2 on the command line.
  3. Press Enter.

    FM/CICS displays the Edit Transient Data Entry panel.

You can edit the following types of transient data queues:
Intrapartition
FM/CICS reads the entire queue into memory. You can edit or delete records or insert new ones.

In Edit, confirming exit causes a destructive read and restore of the transient data queue to occur. If another application added records to the queue during your Edit session, these records will be interspersed with the records from your Edit session.

In View, when you exit, you are given the option of restoring all the records read back to the queue. These records are appended to the existing queue if you select to rewrite the records.

Extrapartition
In Edit, you can only edit Extrapartition queues defined for output and you can only append records. The Edit session begins with no records and you can insert records. On completion, the records are appended to the queue.
Attention: If the queue is not defined to CICS with a disposition of MOD, closing and opening the queue erases all previous contents.

In View, you can only view Extrapartition queues defined for input.

Indirect
If the associated queue is the same as the above, then editing is supported as stated for those queues.
