Versions of the DBRC API macro

Because parameter lists can change from one release of IMS to the next, the functions provided by the DSPAPI macro have a version associated with them. You must specify that version number or a later version to use the functions or parameters that are associated with a version.

If parameters have a version dependency, the parameter descriptions in each request type identify the minimum version number that is required.

The output block version number of the DBRC API is:
  • 7.0 for IMS 15
  • 6.0 for IMS 14
  • 5.0 for IMS Version 13
  • 4.0 for IMS Version 12
