How to Use

You can execute this command in either Single User or Multi-User mode. To perform a reset of database counters and the exclusive control indicator, execute the RESET function using the following command format:

                    ┌──────────────┐
►►─ RESET AREA=CXX ─▼─ ,DBID=nnnn ─┴─┬──────────────────────┬─────────────────►◄
                                     └─ ,REPLY= ─┬─ NO ◄ ─┬─┘
                                                 └─ YES ──┘

Command

RESET

Invokes the function to release or reset an area.

Required Keywords

AREA=CXX

Identifies the area as the Directory.

,DBID=

Identifies the database to be released from control. DBID= may repeat, that is, each occurrence may specify one or more valid database IDs or a range of DBIDs nnnn-mmmm (a range, for example, such as 100-250). This function executes more efficiently when multiple entries are used.

Every database specified by a DBID keyword is processed. Each database that is not defined generates an error and fails the function after all the databases are processed, except that a database in a range not defined is ignored.

Valid Entries:

One or more valid DATACOM-IDs of the database or a range of DBIDs as already described.

Default Value:

(No default)

Optional Keywords

,REPLY=

Specifies the response required of the operator.

YES

Requires an operator response of RESET or BYPASS for each database entered (message DB13086A).

NO

Allows no operator action.

Valid Entries:

NO or YES

Default Value:

NO
