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

cemt i fi v op en up

, 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.
