Specifying resource names in Z Data Tools ("Base")
The following functions in Z Data Tools (option "HFM" on the Primary Options Menu panel within ZDT/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 Z Data Tools Base component main menu, not the ZDT/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 Z Data Tools Base
function can only be used with
local CICS resources (resources owned by the CICS region running ZDT/CICS).
A resource selection list is produced when a generic resource name is entered.
