CEMT INQUIRE FILE
CEMT INQUIRE FILE
Function: Retrieve information about VSAM, BDAM, and
remote files, and files that refer to data tables.
Description: The values that are returned to you can vary
according to when the command is issued. For example, if
the file is closed when you issue the command, much of the
information you receive tells you the state of the file when it
is next opened. If the file has never been opened, you
receive default or null values for some of the options, which
could change when the file is opened.
Input: Press the Clear key to clear the screen. There are
two ways of commencing this transaction:
Type CEMT INQUIRE FILE (the minimum abbreviation is
CEMT I FI). You get a display that lists the current status
| of all files installed.
Type CEMT INQUIRE FILE (CEMT I FI) followed by as
many of the other attributes as are necessary to limit the
range of information that you require. So, for example, if
you enter cemtifivopenup, the resulting display
will show you the details of only those files that are
VSAM, open, enabled, and updatable.
You can then tab to the highlighted or blank fields and
overtype them with the required values.
