Do not use ALTER to change the value of the attributes of a TYPETERM definition on which other attributes depend. If you make a mistake with DEVICE, SESSIONTYPE, or TERMMODEL, delete the definition and define a new one with the correct values.
ALTER FILE(TEST) GROUP(ACT1) DESCRIPTION()
ALTER FILE(TEST) GROUP(ACT1) RLSACCESS()
behaves
as if RLSACCESS was not specified. The RLSACCESS attribute has a CVDA default
value which is ignored.ALTER FILE(TEST) GROUP(ACT1) DESCRIPTION()
has the
effect of blanking out the description, as there is no default value for the
DESCRIPTION field, and it is option.ALTER FILE(TEST) GROUP(ACT1) PROFILE()
puts the
default value of DFHCICSA into the PROFILE field. In this case, the default
value is a character string, not a CVDA value. Changes to resource definitions in the CSD file do not affect the running CICS® system until you install the definition, or the group in which the resource definition resides.
You can use CEDA ALTER from a DISPLAY panel. If you use PF12 after making your alterations, CEDA gives you the DISPLAY panel again, with an 'ALTER SUCCESSFUL' message in the Date and Time fields. If you do this but do not make any alterations, an asterisk replaces your 'ALTER' command.
With a generic name, you can use one ALTER command to change the same attributes in the same way on more than one resource definition.
ALTER PROGRAM(ERR01) GROUP(GENMODS) RESIDENT(YES)
DATALOCATION()
ALTER PROGRAM(*) GROUP(GENMODS) STATUS(ENABLED)
ALTER PROGRAM(ERR01) GROUP(GENMODS)
CEDA gives an “ALTER SUCCESSFUL” message followed by the 'overtype
to modify' panel.
