Specifying resource names in the File Manager Base component File Manager for z/OS®
The following functions in File Manager for z/OS® (option
"FM" on the Primary Options Menu panel
within FM/CICS) also accept a CICS resource
name in the primary data set field as well as the supported MVS data set names.
To distinguish the CICS resource name from an MVS data set name, the following
prefixes (including the colon character) are used:
Note: The options below are from the File Manager for z/OS®
("base") main menu, not the FM/CICS
main menu.
| Functon | Option |
|---|---|
| View | 1 |
| Edit | 2 |
| Data create | 3.1 |
| 3.2 | |
| Copy | 3.3 |
| Find/Change | 3.6 |
| Compare | 3.11 |
- FI:
- CICS file
- TS:
- CICS temporary storage queue
- TD:
- CICS transient data queue
The name following the resource follows the same rules as the resource names described above. For example, you could specify
FI:CICSFI01. Note: The File Manager Base function can only be used with
local CICS resources (resources owned by the CICS region running FM/CICS).
A resource selection list is produced when a generic resource name is entered.
