DL/I calls against a DEDB

DEDB processing uses the same call interface as DL/I processing. Therefore, any DL/I call or calling sequence executed against a DEDB has the same logical result as if executed against an HDAM or PHDAM database.

The SSA rules for DEDBs have the following restrictions:

• You cannot use the Q command code with DEDBs.
• IMS ignores command codes used with sequential dependent segments.
• If you use the D command code in a call to a DEDB, the P processing option need not be specified in the PCB for the program. The P processing option has a different meaning for DEDBs than for DL/I databases.
