The Upgrade action bar choice (or UPGRADE vrm command) introduces the new CMF fields of a later release of CICS into your Template. The new fields are inserted at the bottom of the Template as candidate fields. Upgrading does not affect the fields currently in the Template, nor does it affect the format of HDB container data sets that have already been loaded based on this Template. To then incorporate a new field into your HDB from hereon, move the new field above the EOD marker.
You can upgrade your Template to a CICS Version (VRM) that is not marked by an asterisk *. To do this, select the VRM and press Enter. Otherwise, press Cancel to retain the Template at the current level.
