- CICS CSD FILE NAME
- The dataset name of the CICS system
definition file (DFHCSD) where the CICS IA
resources are added.
REQUIRED.
- CICS AOR LIST NAME
- CICS IA resources are defined
in a number of groups. Select an appropriate list name used by your CICS AOR regions to which the IA
groups are appended. This list must be included in the GRPLIST statement
of the CICS SIT options.

- CICS LOCAL FILES GROUP

or share using VSAM RLS then this group is appended to the CICS AOR LIST NAME when you run

REQUIRED for a Full configuration. For a Short configuration, this field is not displayed.
- RLSACCESS FOR VSAM FILES
- Set this value to YES if you choose to
