SQLIMS

SQLIMS affects whether the IMS SQL coprocessor is enabled and whether Information Management System (IMS) suboptions can be specified.

Syntax

Read syntax diagramSkip visual syntax diagramSQLIMS=*NOYES
Default
SQLIMS=NO
YES
Use to enable the IMS SQL coprocessor and to specify Information Management System (IMS) suboptions. You must specify the SQLIMS option if a COBOL source program contains SQLIMS statements.
NO
Specify to have any SQLIMS statements found in the source program diagnosed and discarded.

Use SQLIMS=NO if your COBOL source programs do not contain SQLIMS statements.

Notes:
  • You can specify the SQLIMS option in any of the compiler option sources: compiler invocation, PROCESS or CBL statements, or installation defaults.
  • Use either quotation marks or apostrophes to delimit the string of IMS suboptions.
  • You can partition a long suboption string into multiple suboption strings in multiple CBL statements.
  • When the LP(64) compiler option is in effect, the SQLIMS option is not supported. If the option is specified explicitly by the user, a diagnostic message is emitted.
