In batch spool,you can see whether the CICS region job is active and in execution state.

well suppose an application team is trying to close a file or opena a file (file i/o) through batch but they do not know if the regions is active or not.....how will they come to know if the regions is active so that they can check it prior to sumitting the job.......in batch how to check is region is active.....

Why bother checking? Just issue the CEMT command(s) to close the files. If CEMT command(s) to open the file is issued when the region is inactive the command fails but the files are available anyway. Same applies to issuing the CEMT command(s) to open the files
