Physical File

If you are adding an entry, specify the filename of the physical file held on your machine, in the format of your local operating system. If you are viewing an entry, shows the filename of the file, in the format of your local operating system.

DSOrg

Shows the data set organization of the data set. Can be one of:

DA	Direct access
GDG	Generation data group
IS	Indexed sequential
PDSM	Partitioned data set member (Micro Focus organization)
PO	Partitioned
PS	Physical sequential
VSAM	Virtual storage access method

When selecting VSAM in the DS Org field, a ShareOptions section appears. A list box allows you to set the following:

Cross Region: Valid values are 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. A value of 0 (zero) means that SHAREOPTIONS are not applied to the DSN. See SHAREOPTIONS for a description of the other values.
Cross System: Valid values are 0, 3 or 4. Any value set for Cross System is read and stored in the catalog and in the data file, which can be included when sending a job step to the mainframe for processing.

RECFM

Shows the record format of the data set. For all data set organizations except VSAM can be one of:

F	Fixed
FA	Fixed
FB	Fixed blocked
FBA	Fixed blocked
FBM	Fixed blocked
FBS	Fixed blocked, spanned
FM	Fixed
FS	Fixed spanned
LSEQ	Line sequential
U	Undefined
V	Variable
VA	Variable
VB	Variable blocked
VBA	Variable blocked
VBM	Variable blocked
VBS	Variable blocked, spanned
VM	Variable
VS	Variable, spanned

For VSAM data set organization can be one of:

ES	Entry sequence
KS	Key sequence
LS	Linear sequence
RR	Relative record

Codeset

Specify the codeset in which you want the contents to be stored. Defaults to ASCII.

Created

Shows the date and time the file was created.

LRECL

Specify the record length for fixed-length records, or the maximum record length for variable-length records, including the 4-byte record header.

Referenced

Shows the date and time the file was last used in a job.

BLKSIZE

Specify the length of a block in bytes.

Display

Click this to display the contents of the file.

Start

Specify the number of the record where you want the display of the file contents to start. Defaults to 1.

for

Specify how many records you want to be displayed. Clear the for field to view all the records in a file. Defaults to 10000. If there were more records than you requested, the final line in the listing warns you that the output was curtailed.

Attention: If you ask for all the records to be displayed in a very large file, your browser will take some time to display all the records, and might run out of memory.

Codeset (for display)

Choose the codeset in which you want the contents to be displayed. Defaults to ASCII.

If you select Both, the system tries to display the contents without regard to the codeset used. For example, the strings x'41424344' and x'a1a2a3a4' are both displayed as "ABCD". You might find this of use if you are not sure what codeset was used to create the file.

The value 'Dump' gives you a hexadecimal dump of the file.

Note: You must remain on the same page when using the 'Dump' feature. Select Dump, and then click Display.

This displays the file records in hexadecimal.

Details

Check this if you want extra details to be included in the display of the file contents.

MGMTCLAS
