Modifying defaults for file objects within a region
When you create a new CICS® region folder, CICS BAC creates subfolders for each object
type under the CICS region folder. Inside the Files subfolder, it automatically
places a $Default object that is a copy of the File object in the Default
Properties folder.
The $Default object conveys its own default settings to any new file objects
that you create. To change these settings:
- Click on the applicable Files folder in the tree
pane.
- Double-click $Default in the view pane.
Set the default options on the first tab (File options), as
desired. For more details on these settings, see File object details.
Set the default options on the second tab (Miscellaneous options),
as desired. For more details on these settings, see Miscellaneous options.
Note:
The other three tabs are not available since there are no available
settings on these tabs that would make sense in a default context.

- Click the Save icon or select File > Save to save
your changes.
- Select File > Close Window to exit this window
