Specifying resource names in File Manager for z/OS® ("Base")
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 Base component 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.
