How to find out the VSAM physical file name of CICS File. I've a so many CICS programs and for an exercise I want to collect the files and the program using them. Is there a way out to do it? I'm very new to CICS.

Try this command in CICS

Code: Select all

CEMT INQUIRE FILE(<SYMBOLIC NAME>) DSN(<DATASET NAME>)
You could also give FILE(*) and DSN(*)

it will take quite a bit of time and access to some resources that You might not have ( the access )

are You sure that Your employer will be happy with Your lurking around ???

what will be the utility of the exercise ???
( apart getting You into trouble)

and the security group will be alerted ,
