Field selection

Field Selection allows you to view expanded field descriptions and select a field name for insertion into your Selection Criteria. To display the Field Selection panel, enter line action S against a field or blank row on the Select Statement panel where you want to insert the selected field name.

Note:  The transaction number field is normally a 4-byte packed       
       decimal number.  However, some CICS system tasks are identified
       by special character 'transaction numbers', as follows:        
           ' III' for system initialization task                      
           ' TCP' for terminal control.                               
                                                                      
       These special identifiers are placed in bytes 2 through 4. 
       Byte 1 is a blank (X'40') before the terminal control TCP      
       identifier, and a null value (X'00') before the others.        
                                                                         
 F1=Help        F3=Exit        F4=Prompt      F6=Resize      F7=Backward 
 F8=Forward    F10=Prev       F11=Next       F12=Cancel                  

The panel cycles through all the CMF performance class fields and transaction resource class fields available for selection. Each field is displayed in turn with its expanded description like that in Performance field help. Details are only available for CICS-defined fields, not user fields.

To cycle through the list of fields, press F11 or F10 to move Forward or Backward through the list. You can restart anywhere in the cycle by entering a valid field name then move Forward or Backward from that point.

You can press Prompt (F4) from the Name field to display a selection list of fields (see Figure 1).

When the required field is displayed in the Name field, press Exit (F3) to select it.
