Record Procedures

You must write record procedures to accept the following five blocks of information which are passed when the database procedure is executed by CA IDMS/DB:

• Procedure control block (20 bytes)
• Application control block (236 bytes)
• Application program information block (user-specified length)
• Record control block (56 bytes)
• Record occurrence block (length specified in schema)

Record procedures have access to the entire data portion of the schema-defined records. They are not restricted to the subschema views seen by application programs.
