Using the CEBR transaction

You start the CEBR transaction by entering the transaction identifier CEBR, followed by the name of the queue you want to browse. You can choose a name of up to 16 characters. For example, to display the temporary storage queue named AXBYQUEUENAME111 you type CEBR AXBYQUEUENAME111 and press ENTER. If the queue name includes lower case characters, ensure that upper case translation is suppressed for the terminal you are using, and then enter the correct combination of upper and lower case characters. CICS® responds with a display of the queue, for example, as shown in Figure 149.

Alternatively, you can start the CEBR transaction from the CEDF transaction. You do this by pressing PF5 from the initial CEDF screen (see Figure 134) which takes you to the working-storage screen, and then pressing PF2 from that screen to browse temporary storage (that is, invoke the CEBR transaction). CEBR can also be started from CEMT I TSQ by entering 'b' at the queue to be browsed. The CEBR transaction responds by displaying the temporary storage queue whose name consists of the four letters CEBR followed by the four letters of your terminal identifier. (CICS uses this same default queue name if you invoke the CEBR transaction directly and do not supply a queue name.) The result of invoking the CEBR transaction without a queue name or from an EDF session at terminal S21A is shown in Figure 150. If you enter the CEBR transaction from the CEDF transaction, you return to the EDF panel when you press PF3 from the CEBR screen.
