Displaying the RCDS status

Use the DISPLAY SMS,CICSVR,RCDS command to display the status of the RCDSs allocated to the CICS® VR server address space.

You can use this command to determine if any maintenance is required on the RCDSs. The figure below shows an example of the output returned when the DISPLAY SMS,CICSVR,RCDS command is issued and all three RCDSs are properly allocated and in use by CICS VR:

Figure 1. DISPLAY SMS,CICSVR,RCDS results when all three RCDSs are properly allocated and in use.

During some error conditions, CICS VR automatically attempts to deallocate the RCDS. For example, if an RCDS becomes full, CICS VR automatically attempts to deallocate the full RCDS from the CICS VR server address space. Therefore, the status of the full RCDS might be shown as "OUT OF SET" after CICS VR has deallocated the full RCDS. However, CICS VR writes appropriate messages to the operator console when an RCDS error is encountered and when it is automatically deallocated. The status of each RCDS can be one of the following:
IN USE
An RCDS is currently allocated to the listed ddname and is accessible by the CICS VR server address space. No further action is required.
OUT OF SET
The RCDS of the listed ddname is currently deallocated from the CICS VR server address space. An RCDS can be deallocated from CICS VR by issuing the VARY operator command or automatically by CICS VR when it becomes full, unusable, or broken. An RCDS must be recreated and reallocated to the listed ddname as soon as possible.
INACCESSIBLE
The RCDS of the listed ddname is allocated to CICS VR, but CICS VR cannot access it to read and write information. Either make the RCDS accessible to CICS VR, or deallocte it, then recreate and reallocate a new RCDS to the same ddname.
BROKEN
The RCDS for the listed ddname is corrupted. Deallocate the RCDS from CICS VR, then recreate and redefine a new RCDS to the same ddname. CICS VR automatically attempts to deallocate a broken RCDS.
FULL
The RCDS for the listed ddname has reached its capacity and no more information can be written to it. It must be deallocated from CICS VR, then recreated with a larger capacity and reallocated to the same ddname. CICS VR automatically attempts to deallocte a full RCDS.
INDELIBLE
The RCDS for the listed ddname could not be removed from CICS VR. It must be manually deallocted from CICS VR, then recreated and reallocated to the same ddname.
UNKNOWN
An unresolveable error has occurred while attempting to access the RCDS for the listed ddname. It must be deallocated from CICS VR, then recreated and reallocated to the same ddname.
