Extrapartition Queue panel

The Extrapartition Queue panel displays the CICS information for the associated queue. You can change the status of the queue from this panel.

You can change the status fields on this panel and view the other information. If the status change fails, you are provided with the CICS command (func=) and error codes which are found in the command code section of the CICS Application Programming Reference. If the request fails, the displayed status represent the current status of the queue.

Open
You can change the open status by overtyping the first character with an O to open, or C to close. The following status values can be displayed:
OPEN
Queue is open
OPENING
Queue is being opened
CLOSED
Queue is closed
CLOSING
Queue is being closed
Enabled
You can change the enable status by overtyping the first character with an E to enable, or D to disable. The following status values can be displayed:
DISABLED
Queue is disabled
DISABLING
Queue is being disabled
PENDING
Queue is being pending
ENABLED
Queue is enabled
Sysid
This value is blank for the local system on which File Manager is running and represents the connection ID for remote resources.
DDname
8–character identifier (padded with blanks if necessary) that may refer to a data set name used in the startup JCL.
Data set name
A 1–44 character name that indicates an associated QSAM data set, or DUMMY data set.
Disposition
The disposition for the associated data set:
MOD
The system first assumes that the data set exists. For an existing data set, MOD causes the read/write mechanism to be positioned after the last record in the data set. The read/write mechanism is positioned after the last record each time the data set is opened for output. If the system cannot find volume information for the data set on the DD statement, in the catalog, or passed with the data set from a previous step, the system assumes that the data set is being created in this job step. For a new data set, MOD causes the read/write mechanism to be positioned at the beginning of the data set.
NOTAPPLIC
The option does not apply because the queue is not open or is not an extrapartition queue.
OLD
The data set existed before this job step.
SHR
The data set existed before this job step and can be read by other concurrent jobs.
Sysout Class
A single character indicating the class attribute of the associated SYSOUT data set.
Record Format
FIXED or VARIABLE to indicate whether the queue has fixed or variable length records.
Record Length
The record length (in bytes) for queues having fixed-length records, or the maximum record length for queues having variable-length records.
Blocksize
The length of the block in bytes (in the range 1–32767).
Attributes
Describes attributes of the queue:
BACKWARD
The input queue is read backwards
INPUT
This is an input queue
OUTPUT
This is an output queue
EMPTY
The queue is empty
FULL
The queue is full
IGNORERR
A block that causes an I/O error will be accepted
SKIP
A block that causes an I/O the error will be skipped
LEAVE
The current tape is positioned to the logical end of the data set
REREAD
The current tape is positioned to reprocess the data set
