Dropping program views

You can drop an IMS program view by issuing the DROP PROGRAMVIEW statement. When you drop a program view, all of its schemas (PCB), senseg views, and field sensitivity descriptions (SENFLD) are dropped too. Issuing DROP will remove all instances of the program view from the IMS catalog and render it inactive to IMS.

You will need to remove the DRD resources.

IMS does not have an ALTER PROGRAMVIEW statement. If you want to implement a change to an existing program view or schema you must perform the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Open IMS Enterprise Suite Explorer for Development to import the CREATE PROGRAMVIEW statements that make up your program view.
  2. Modify the CREATE statements to include your changes.
  3. Issue a DROP PROGRAMVIEW statement.
  4. Issue the modified CREATE PROGRAMVIEW statement.
  5. Issue a COMMIT DDL statement.
