To display information about the initialization parameters for active CICS regions, including the suffix of each region’s system initialization table (SIT), issue the following command:

CREVIEW [target]

where target is the specific or generic name of a target CICS region.

The following figure is displayed:

Usage notes

The CREVIEW view can be used as the starting point for reviewing a region’s SIT parameters. Use the hyperlinks that are described in the following table to display specific SIT parameters and their values.

Field

Region Name

EZCREV Easy Menu

Each option on this menu provides a hyperlink to a CREVDn detail view, which displays a group of SIT parameters and their values.

SIT Suffix

CREVDX view

This view is the first of three alphabetical lists of SIT parameter names; the other two lists are CREVDY and CREVDZ. Each field in each list provides a hyperlink to the CREVD n detail view that contains that SIT parameter.

SIT Suffix

The following table lists the additional SIT suffixes that support IBM CICS PTF UI53174 and UI53175 and the views that provide additional information:

From EZCREV, you can select:

  • a category, such as Application

    When you hyperlink from a category field, the detail view that contains that type of SIT parameters is displayed.

  • an alphabetic grouping, such as Fields A-F

When you hyperlink from an alphabetic field, an alphabetic list of SIT parameter names is displayed, as shown below.

Note

This view is the same view that is displayed when you hyperlink from the SIT Suffix field of the CREVIEW view.

From CREVDn (or any of the other alphabetic lists), you can select a specific SIT parameter and hyperlink to the detail view that contains that parameter.

The G-R... hyperlink displays the CREVDY view, which contains an alphabetical listing of SIT parameters starting with the letters G to R inclusive.

The S-Z... hyperlink displays the CREVDZ view, which contains an alphabetical listing of SIT parameters starting with the letters S to Z inclusive.

Usage notes

  • Each CREVDn detail view presents one or more logical groupings of SIT parameters. As a group, the CREVDn views provide the complete list of SIT parameters.

  • Each CREVDn detail view shows the name of the SIT parameter, its current value, and whether the original value was overridden by a SYSPARM or SYSIN change.

  • Some CREVDn detail views have default hyperlink fields defined that provide links from:

    • A storage address to the DUMP view of the associated data

      An example of this type of hyperlink is the INITPARM value on the CREVDA view.

    • A parameter whose data is too long to display to CREVD9, the Long Data view

      An example of this type of hyperlink is the GMTEXT parameter on the CREVD3 view.
