ACCEPT/RETURN Special Considerations

Keyn always refers to one of the ten CA IDMS DMLO KEYPAD fields.

PGRn always refers to one of the ten CA IDMS DMLO PAGE-INFO values.

In the RETURN statement:

index-key-value-v may be an element within a previously referenced record, or may be a literal value
field-name is any element within a previously referenced record.

In the ACCEPT IDMS-STATISTICS statement:

RESET and DELTA are CA IDMS DMLO extensions to standard CA IDMS DML syntax which permit display of incremental statistics.
If neither RESET nor DELTA is used, statistics values displayed are cumulative since the start of your CA IDMS DMLO session.
If DELTA is used, the statistics represent the incremental change since RESET was last used as an ACCEPT parameter, or if RESET was never used, since the beginning of your session.
If RESET is used, a new "zero" point is established for later DELTA usage.
