You can view CICS VSAM files that have browse and read access.

For Edit, CICS VSAM files must have update access. Full editing capability (inserts/deletes) is available for KSDS files that have add and delete attributes. All other files are in place editing only—new records can be appended to ESDS files, and slots can be deleted or new records can be inserted into empty slots for an RRDS.

Note: FM/CICS requests against CICS data tables not owned by the local CICS region always use function shipping (cross-memory services are not used).

BDAM files are not supported.
