Executing Programs

At runtime, CA IDMS requests are treated as application program subroutine calls. When an application program executes a CA IDMS/DB or CA IDMS/DC subroutine call, control passes to either CA IDMS/DB or CA IDMS/DC, which then processes the requested function.

A CA IDMS/DC program must be defined to the CA IDMS/DC system in which it will operate. The program can be defined either at system generation or at runtime by using a DCMT VARY DYNAMIC PROGRAM command.

Note: For more information about DCMT VARY DYNAMIC PROGRAM, see the CA IDMS System Tasks and Operator Commands Guide.
