On Online DC Screen definetly you cannot see the Mapset Code.

You might be having PDS with name Formatlibs. which would be generally be containing this Mapset coding.

but actually i was looking for just the mapname, and not the mapset code...something like we have list+f9 in ispf.

but i dont think its possible in ims dc or cics!!!

In TSO List+F9 displays all active sessions (F2 split screens).
If you are trying to do similar in online, then in IMS DC just do

/dis a
this should display all active transactions running.

If you just want to see what screens (MID/MOD) have been made check the MFS-source library using ISPF 3.4

How to know the source code of IMS/DC screen. Like cics screens are basically written in asembler language.. Is there any special language using to write the MAPset in IMS/DC?

CICS screen are developed using BMS Macros.

Similarly for IMS DC online screens are developed using MFS Macros

Example of MFS-screen: in this case an input screen (MID).

Hello,
In IMS DC we create MFS component for a particular program in a seperate PDS same like we have a PSB member for each program which is even compiled seperately (same like PSB).
you can check your MFS library

basically in IMS DC programming the MFS has 4 basic structures.
MID (Message Input Descriptor)
MOD (Message Output Descriptor)
DIF (Device Input Format)
DOF (Device Output Format)

The DIF and DOF are device dependent i.e, your screen size, here you actually write which field you want to display on which Row, Column

the MID and MOD are related to I/O part of the application program (Message in IMS terms), this maps the Row, Column variables defined in DIF and DOF with the I/O area using label names (like we map files with DD names).

out of these MOD is what you are asking for, in the MFS component of your Online program name check the MOD name (8 Characters).

normaly when we invoke any IMS DC program using /DIS TRANNAME, that TRANNAME is actually your MOD name which is defined in MOD as default, normally to avoid any confusion to the end users with these MOD names we use the default name same as our TRAN name.

hope it will help you.
