Description:

Use the Change CICS Temporary Storage Table (CHGCICSTST) command to change an entry in the TST.

A temporary storage queue is a file used by an application program to store data for later retrieval.

A Temporary Storage Table (TST) entry may define a recoverable or a remote temporary storage queue. TST entries are not required for local, unrecoverable temporary storage queues.

A temporary storage queue is a file used by an application program to store data for later retrieval. A Temporary Storage Table (TST) entry needs to be created for all recoverable and all remote temporary storage queues. You do not need to create TST entries for local, unrecoverable temporary storage queues.

You can create a TST entry with a generic name that can be used as a prefix to the full name that will be supplied by the application programs in EXEC CICS temporary storage commands. A prefix enables you to create one entry to apply to many temporary storage queues. CICS will use the TST entry associated with the prefix. You must take care, therefore, that there is no ambiguity in your TS queue names.


Examples:

None.
