Parameters and Commands

This chapter is a guide to CA IDMS/DB Reorg's parameter statements and Console Communication Commands. CA IDMS/DB Reorg parameters initiate processing, identify the portion of the database to be reorganized, and indicate the number of reorganization steps to be performed. Parameters also control production of the Restart Information Messages, allow you to rank records for optimum storage locations, and establish page reserves. To use these parameters effectively you must understand how your database is physically organized. While these major parameters control CA IDMS/DB Reorg processing, much of the reorganization process depends on how you have defined the new database in the new subschema and DMCL.
