What does EDF display?

All EDF displays have the same general format, but the contents depend on the point at which the task was interrupted. The display indicates which of these interception points has been reached and shows information relevant to that point.

The display consists of a header, a body (the primary display area), a message line, and a menu of functions you can select at this point. If the body does not fit on one screen, EDF creates multiple screens, which you can scroll through using function keys F7 and F8. The header, menu, and message areas are repeated on each screen.

The header

The header of the display contains the following information; the identifier of the transaction being executed, the name of the program being executed, the internal task number assigned by CICS® to the transaction, the applid of the CICS region where the transaction is being executed, a display number, and the STATUS, that is, the reason for the interception by EDF.

The body

The body or main part of the display contains the information that varies with the point of intercept. The following screens show you the body contents at program initiation, at the start and the end of execution of a CICS command, at program and task termination, and at abnormal termination.
