This secondary window opens for each MVS log stream that you have selected. It contains the list of all its copies registered in the CICS VR RCDS, including those that have been received by means of the SETBRCUR cursor control option.

If you select a log stream copy for the list SAM copies action, the CICS VR SAM copy list secondary window is displayed for the MVS log stream from which it was copied. All registered copies are displayed.

From this secondary window, you can select one or more log stream copies by placing an S in the first column. You can now perform the following actions on the selected log stream copies:
  • List details
  • Deregister

To list details of the selected log stream copies, either press F4 or type listdet on the command line. The CICS VR SAM copy details list secondary window, previously shown in Listing log streams and log stream copies details, opens for each selected log stream copy.

To deregister the selected log stream copies, either press F11 or type dereg on the command line. The CICS VR SAM copy deregister verification secondary window, previously shown in Deregistering a log stream entry from the RCDS, opens for each selected log stream copy.
