CA IDMS DMLO Session › Using the CA IDMS DMLO CLIST Processor › CLIST Creation

CLIST Creation

Use the EDIT command to create or update a CLIST. This command invokes the CA editor for CLIST text processing. This command is available only in a CA IDMS/DC environment.

EDIT [S.]clist-name

Where:

• S.—forces access to global CLIST if both a user and global CLIST of same name exist.
• clist-name—1-8 character CLIST identifier.

Details of the CA IDMS DMLO CLIST editing commands are discussed in CLIST Editing Commands.

If you are not the CA IDMS DMLO system administrator, an attempt to edit a global CLIST forces you into a BROWSE rather than an EDIT session. You may, however, copy global CLISTs into one of your own CLISTs during an EDIT session.
