casfile

The casfile command enables you to change the information held about a file.

Syntax:

casfile {/rserver-name | /mserver-name | /fserver-name} [/dfile-DD-name]
[/e{e|u|d}][/iinput-script][/loutput-log]
[/o{oi|c}][/pnew-dataset-path][/s{y|n|a}][/t{y|n}][/w{w|r}][/uuserid][/apassword][/cgroup]
[/y]

Parameters:

/rserver-name
Name of the enterprise server to connect to. Defaults to ESDEMO
Note: When calling this utility from JCL or from a WEB service (that is, when you are running the utility within a SEP) you cannot use the /r option to connect to the server. Where this is the case, you must use the /m or /f options to connect to the server.
or:
/mserver-name
Location of the Web Services and J2EE listener for the enterprise server you want to connect to. Where server-name takes the form prototype:host:WebServicePort. For example, /mtcp:localhost:9003
or:
/fserver-name
Name of the enterprise server to connect to. This differs from the /r option, in that it performs a lookup to locate the Web Service for the enterprise server. Where server-name takes the form prototype:host:port using MFCC.
/dfile-DD-name
Name of the file whose information you want to change. This is the eight-byte DD name, identical to the one held in the FCT for the file.
/e{e|u|d}
Sets the file status, where:
e
Enable; default
u
Unenable
d
Disable
/iinput-script
Name of a file containing the parameters for the file named in file-DD-name or to multiple files.
/loutput-log
Name of file to contain the results of executing the command. The default is that the results are displayed on the enterprise server console.
/o{oi|c}
Sets the open status, where:
o
Important: -oo has been deprecated. When used, a return code 4 (warning) is received.

Instead of -oo, use the -ooi (open immediate) option. If -oo is used with a region configured for VSAM shareoption use, -ooi will be forced.

oi
Open immediate.
c
Closed.
/pnew-dataset-path
Name of a new path for the file.
/s{y|n|a}
Output full file status, where:
y
Display; default
n
Suppress
a
All files
/t{y|n}
Switch the file handler trace on or off for all files, where:
y
On; default
n
Off
/w{w|r}
Set write status, where:
w
Read/write; default
r
Read-only
/uuserid
The user ID authorizing the change.
/apassword
The password for the authorizing user ID.
/cgroup
The group to be used when running casfile commands.
If you are using external security with an enterprise server, by default, a user is assigned to their default group at logon. If the permissions in this group are not sufficient for the casfile operation, use this option to specify another group.
/y
For ES.NET CICS regions, this option attempts to ensure all FCT catalog entries defined as remote resources are current.
Note: Options /r, /m, /f are alternative ways of identifying the enterprise server that you want to connect to.

Dependencies:

You must have started the enterprise server before you can issue a casfile command.

Comments:

The /s and /f options are alternatives and are mutually exclusive.

On UNIX, you can use a dash (-) instead of a forward slash (/).

If a path or filename contains spaces, it should be enclosed in quotation marks. For example,"e:\dev server\files"
