CA IDMS DLI Transparency Syntax Generator › Modification Statements

Modification Statements

The CA IDMS DLI Transparency syntax generator modification statements allow you to override area, record, and set definitions in generated schema, DMCL, subschema, and IPSB source. The modification statements can be used in conjunction with any of the four GENERATE statements.

Note: Make sure that the schema, subschema, and IPSB source definitions remain consistent. That is, any modifications made to a subschema must also be made to the associated schema. Any modifications made to an IPSB must also be made to its associated schema and subschema. For example, if you add an area to the generated IPSB source, you must also add the same area to both the associated schema and subschema source.

Different Types

The modification statements are as follows:

• ADD AREA statement -- Generates source statements for defining a CA IDMS/DB database area
• MODIFY AREA statement -- Overrides a generated area name or changes the usage mode for a generated area
• MODIFY RECORD statement -- Overrides a generated record name
• MODIFY SET statement -- Overrides a generated set name

Each statement is described separately below.
