PCB SECTION

The PCB SECTION performs the following:

Identifies the DL/I segments participating in the hierarchies viewed by a DL/I application
Names the CA IDMS/DB records that represent these segments
Defines paths that the DL/I application can follow by naming relevant segments and by defining their relationships to other segments
Provides a limited amount of DBD information (that is, the DBD names and the access method)

The information included in the PCB SECTION corresponds to the associated DL/I PCBs within a PSB.

The PCB SECTION consists of PCB statements and SEGMENT statements and is formatted as follows:

PCB SECTION.
 PCB statement.
 SEGMENT statements.
  ...
PCB statement.
 SEGMENT statements.
  ...

The syntax for the PCB statement and the SEGMENT statement are presented separately below.
