Effect When the Operating Mode Is BATCH

When the operating mode is BATCH, a nonzero error status causes IDMS_STATUS to:

• Print status information on the unsuccessful function
• Issue a rollback
• Abend the program

The status information retrieved from the IDMS DB communications block includes program name, error status, error record, error set, error area, record name (the last record successfully accessed), area name (the last area successfully accessed), page number and line index of the dbkey (the last record accessed by the run unit), dbkey in hexadecimal format, page group, and database-key format (associated with the last record accessed by the run unit), and DML sequence number.
