Introduction to CA IDMS Data Manipulation Language › Callable Services and Common Facilities › Common Facilities

Common Facilities

The common facilities include:

• The Command Facility that lets you submit command statements in a batch or online environment.
• The Online Compiler Text Editor that lets you edit compiler output and resubmit it as input using the CA IDMS development tools.
• The Transfer Control Facility that lets you transfer between CA IDMS development tools.
• The SYSIDMS parameter file that contains parameters that you can add to a batch job running in local mode or under the central version. These parameters let you specify environment requirements, runtime directives, and operating system-dependent information.

Note: For more information about using these common facilities and the SYSIDMS parameter file, see the Common Facilities Guide.
