DBDL1 control statement

The DBDL1 control statement specifies that HSSR calls are to fall back to DL/I calls.

Specifically, the DBDL1 control statement has the following functions:

  • Forces IMS High Performance Unload program controller to define PCBs as DL/I PCBs.
  • Enables users to temporarily bypass software errors in HSSR Engine.
  • Enables users to make performance comparisons between HSSR and DL/I calls.
  • Enables an application using a particular PSB to run on one occasion with HSSR Engine, and on another occasion with DL/I.

Enter in this 8-character field either multiple dbdnames or the keyword *ALL. If dbdnames are specified, only the PCBs referring to those names are considered DL/I PCBs. If the keyword *ALL is specified, all PCBs are considered DL/I PCBs.

Code dbdnames left-aligned, followed by trailing blanks, if necessary, and separated by commas. A maximum of eight dbdnames can be coded.

Note: If multiple DBDL1 statements are provided, only the last is used.
