GROUP statement

The GROUP (abbreviated as GR) statement enables group processing. It can be used with the IC/AIC, CIC/ACIC, or CRC statement.

The GROUP statement contains the following mandatory keywords:

  • FUNC
  • Either DBDSGRP or CAGRP

If both the GROUP and the GLOBAL statements are specified, the option parameters specified for the GROUP statement override the option parameters in the GLOBAL statement.

Group processing requires DBRC to be active. The specified DBDS group or CA group must be registered to DBRC. Group processing is not supported for the Recovery function.

For a list of keywords that can be specified for the GROUP statement, see Relation of keywords to ICEIN control statements.
