CEMT INQUIRE LINE

Retrieve information about lines connected to terminals. This request is valid only for non-z/OS Communications Server terminals.

Input

Press the Clear key to clear the screen. There are two ways to start this transaction:
  • Type CEMT INQUIRE LINE(value) (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords). The current status of the named line is displayed.
  • Type CEMT INQUIRE LINE(termid) (or suitable abbreviations for the keywords), followed by as many attributes as appropriate to limit the range of information that you require.

You can specify a list of identifiers (see List of resource identifiers), but you cannot use the asterisk (*) or plus (+) symbols to specify a family of identifiers. You can tab to the highlighted or blank fields and overtype them with the required values.

Sample screen

Note: The screen has blank fields where a value does not apply or is negative; that is, the value begins with No. To modify such fields, tab to locate each one (they appear in the same sequence as in the expanded format), and overtype with input valid for that field. It can be easier to use the expanded format to set such a value (setting a value negative is easier because you overtype a displayed field with its negative, which results in a blank field).

If you place the cursor against a specific entry in the list, CICS® displays an expanded format as shown in Figure 2.
