Overview

This chapter provides information on the transparency components that are described briefly in the following table.

Component

Brief description

IMBS customizing macro

Describes the DBOMP files and the equivalent CA IDMS/DB database. The IMBS macro generates IMBSTAB.

IMBSTAB

Contains (in tabular format) the data that the bridge program uses to convert CA IDMS/DB records to DBOMP records.

IMBSPROC database procedure

Moves pointers from the subschema table into a CA IDMS/DB dummy record.

IMBSBRDG program module

Simulates DBOMP records and processing using IMBSTAB, IMBSPROC, IMBSEQ (or equivalent COBOL or PL/I macros), and CA IDMS/DB.

IMBSEQ macro

Supports the DBOMP GE$T, PU$T, ST$KY, and ST$DA macros in Assembler programs and replaces the MF$SQ, FI$LE, and CF$RT macros.

For more information on equivalent PL/I and COBOL macros, see PL/I Considerations and see COBOL Considerations.
