Tailoring the CA Dataquery System Option Table › How to Modify the System Option Table

How to Modify the System Option Table

Alter the parameters of the DQOPTLST macro. (For an example, see the DQSAM03 member on the CA Datacom page on http://support.ca.com/. See the CA Datacom Release Notes.) Then, to make these changes take effect, you must:

1. Reassemble and link edit it.
2. Have all users sign off CA Dataquery and check the CICS use count.
3. Place the updated System Option Table into effect in one of the following ways:
   • If the CICS use count is zero, do a CICS NEWCOPY of DQSYSTBL.
   • If the CICS use count is not zero, bring down the monitor and bring it back up again.

Coding Rules

In coding the macros, standard Assembler rules apply. A statement to be continued on the next line must have a non-blank character in column 72, and the next line must begin in column 16.

Changing the DATACOM-ID of DATA-DICT

If you change the DATACOM-ID of the DATA-DICT database, update the CA Dataquery System Option Table and reassemble and link-edit the DQSYSTBL. If you do not change the database ID designation of the CA Datacom Datadictionary in these places, the CA Dataquery requests are resolved using the wrong CA Datacom Datadictionary database.
