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.
Note: The options below are from the File Manager Base component main menu, not the FM/CICS main menu.

To distinguish the CICS resource name from an MVS data set name, the following prefixes (including the colon character) are used:
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.
