Here are CICS utility transactions – CEBR, CEMT, and CECI. These are commonly used transactions. In three parts, I will cover all these commands. We can do multiple functions with CEBR. It allows you to browse Temporary Queue.
General Syntax: CEBR {que name}
- QUEUE { queue-name}
Changes the display to the temporary storage queue you specify. You can specify a name that’s up to 16 characters long.
- TERMINAL xxxx
Changes the last 4 characters of the queue’s name to the characters you specify.
- PURGE
Deletes the queue.
- TOP
Scrolls to the first record in the queue.
- BOTTOM
Scrolls to the last record in the queue.
- FIND /string/
Searches for the string enclosed within the delimiters. You can use any character for the delimiter as long as that character isn’t in the search string. If the search string doesn’t contain spaces, you can omit the second delimiter character.
- LINE nnnn
Scrolls to the specified line.
- COLUMN nnnn
Scrolls to the specified column.
- GET xxxx
Reads the specified transient data queue into the current temporary storage queue. Remember that when you do this, the records in the destination are effectively deleted.
- PUT xxxx
