Executing DBOMP Assembler Programs

Perform these steps to execute a DBOMP Assembler program using the transparency:

  1. Assemble IMBSTAB by submitting the user customizing parameters to the IMBS macro. (Omit this step and the next step if an existing version of IMBSTAB is compatible with the application program.) The third and fourth steps are required only for sequential processing of DBOMP files.
  2. Link edit IMBSTAB.
  3. Assemble the IMBSEQ macro with the IMBSASMB interface macro, specifying the user-defined parameters for the IMBSEQ macro.
  4. Link edit the IMBSEQ macro.
  5. Reassemble and link edit the DBOMP application program, including IMBSBRDG, IMBSTAB, IMBSEQ, and IDMS.

    Note 1: IDMS 16.0 supports Z/OS V2R10 as well as z/OS 1.1 and above. However, we will always refer to z/OS in this document.

    Note 2: Programs running under z/OS need only be reassembled if any of the changes detailed above have been made; programs running under Z/VSE must be reassembled whether or not any of these changes have been made, unless the programs exist in the relocatable library.

  6. Execute the DBOMP application program. The program is now bridged to CA IDMS/DB.

The JCL you use to execute each of these tasks is provided on the following pages.
