LOCFILES - Local files summary

The LOCFILES view shows summarized information about local CICS files. LOCFILES is a summary form of the LOCFILE view.

Availability

The LOCFILES view is available for all managed CICS® systems.

Access

Issue command:
LOCFILES [file [enablestat [OPEN|CLOSED]]]

Where the parameters are the same as those for LOCFILE (see LOCFILE - Local files).

Select:
FILE from the OPERATE menu, and LOCFILES from the FILE submenu.
Summarize:
Issue the SUM display command from a LOCFILE or LOCFILES view.

The LOCFILES view looks like the LOCFILE view shown in Figure 67 with one addition: the Count field. This field appears next to the CICS System field, and indicates how many resources were combined to form each line of summary data.

By default, the view is summarized by CICS system. If you place the cursor on a field of data and issue the SUM display command, the view is summarized by the data in that field.

Action commands

Table 143 show the action commands you can issue from the LOCFILES view. These action commands affect all of the resources that were combined to form the summary line of data. The overtype fields are shown in Table 144.

The action commands and overtype fields for the LOCFILES view are available for all managed CICS systems for which LOCFILES is valid, except as noted in Table 143.

Table 143. LOCFILES view action commands
Primary command Line command Description
n/a CLS Displays the CLOSE OPTIONS input panel (Figure 58), which lets you specify how to handle a file if it is still in use. When a file has been enabled by an OPEN action command, CLS disables the file.
n/a DIS Displays the DISABLE OPTIONS input panel (Figure 58), which lets you specify how to handle a file if it is still in use.
n/a DSC Discards a file from the CICS system where it is installed.
n/a ENA Enables a file.
n/a OPE Opens a file. When a file has been disabled by a CLS action command, OPEN enables the file.
