Databases supported by DBCTL

The DBCTL environment supports all full-function databases (HSAM, SHSAM, HISAM, SHISAM, HDAM, PHDAM, HIDAM, PHIDAM, and PSINDEX).

BMP regions in a DBCTL environment can access GSAM databases. BMP regions can also access external subsystems (for example, Db2 for z/OS®), because DBCTL supports the external subsystem interface.

The DBCTL environment supports Fast Path data entry databases (DEDBs).

Note: PHDAM, PHIDAM, and PSINDEX are database types added for High Availability Large Database (HALDB). They are partitioned equivalents of HDAM, HIDAM, and secondary indexes, respectively.
