Requests for monitoring and debugging your ODBA program

To debug your ODBA program, you can issue the statistics (STAT) or log (LOG) request.

You can use the following two requests to help you in debugging your program:

• The statistics (STAT) request retrieves database statistics. STAT can be issued from both call- and command-level programs.
• The log (LOG) request makes it possible for the application program to write a record on the system log. You can issue LOG as a command or call in a batch program; in this case, the record is written to the IMS log. You can issue LOG as a call or command in an online program in the IMS DB environment; in this case, the record is written to the IMS DB log.
