CREATE statement usage

The CREATE statement is used to create a resource in IMS.

Each one of the create commands has their own separate list of keywords available. You can issue the following create commands:

CREATE DATABASE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TABLESPACE
CREATE PROGRAMVIEW

Example

Issuing the CREATE DATABASE statement, looks similar to the following.

CREATE DATABASE MYDB ACCESS HIDAM VSAM LIKE BASEDB CCSID 'UTF-8'

NOCASCADE  DATA INPOS PATH LOG, EXIT2 NOCASCADE  DATA INPOS PATH LOG)
