To edit temporary storage in Edit:

Select 2. Temporary Storage on the Primary Option Menu panel.
Type 2 on the command line.
Press Enter.
FM/CICS displays the Edit Temporary Storage Entry panel.

In View, you must specify the name of an existing queue.

In Edit, you can specify an existing or new queue name for temporary storage editing.

New queue name: If you specify a new queue name, you are asked to specify whether the queue location is to be in memory or auxiliary storage. An Edit session then commences with no records and you can insert new records. On completion of the Edit session, the queue is created with the records created during the Edit session.
Note: If the TS queue name matches the prefix of an existing TS model, it is allocated according to the attributes of the corresponding model. If the TS queue name does not match a prefix of a TS model, it is allocated in auxiliary storage.
However, if SYSID is not blank, the TS queue is defined on the specified CICS system either using a corresponding TS model on the remote system if a match exists, otherwise it is allocated in auxiliary storage on the remote system.
Existing queue name: FM/CICS attempts to read all the records into memory. In Edit, you can insert, delete, and change records and, on completion, FM/CICS deletes the existing queue and replaces it with the records from your Edit session. Any changes to the queue made by other applications are lost.

Other elements of the View and Edit functions are described in Viewing and changing data sets in the File Manager for z/OS User’s Guide and Reference.
