CICSCMD INQ FILE—Inquire File Status

The CICSCMD INQ FILE command inquires about the status of CICS files. It returns the RCIW05 messages that indicate the status of the selected files. The returned information is similar to that returned by the CICS CEMT INQUIRE FILE transaction.

This command has the following format:

CICSCMD cics_region_name INQ FILE[(file_name_mask)]

cics_region_name

Defines the CICS region from which the information is required.

file_name_mask

(Optional) Specifies the files to which the inquiry applies. The value can be either the name or a mask. If you use a mask, it must be of the following form: file_name_prefix*. If it is not specified, the inquiry applies to all files defined in the CICS region.

Example:

CICSCMD CICSA INQ FILE

CICSCMD CICSA INQ FILE(CUSTOMER)

CICSCMD CICSA INQ FILE(CUST*)
