Discovering LIBRARY information for programs in a CICS system

Inquire on programs in the CICS system to discover the LIBRARY and data set in that LIBRARY from which the program was loaded; for example, to validate that it is loaded from the intended location.

Before you begin

  • CICS is running.
  • Programs are in use in the CICS system.

Procedure

Use the WUI or CEMT INQUIRE PROGRAM command to inquire on a program.

Results

The program information returned includes the LIBRARY and data set from which it was loaded:
  • If the program was loaded from an installed LIBRARY, the LIBRARY and LIBRARYDSN names are returned.
  • If the program was loaded from a LIBRARY that has been disabled, the LIBRARY name is returned but the LIBRARYDSN is blank.
  • If the program was loaded from a LIBRARY that has been discarded, both LIBRARY and LIBRARYDSN are blank.
  • If the program has not been loaded, both LIBRARY and LIBRARYDSN are blank.
  • If the program was loaded from the LPA, both LIBRARY and LIBRARYDSN are blank.
