Default Ready Mode Using Navigational DML

You can specify a default ready mode for a database area in a subschema definition. The specified default mode determines the mode in which the area is to be readied for programs using that subschema. If you specify a default mode for a database area, programs using the subschema do not have to issue a READY command for the area. If a program issues a READY command for one area in the subschema, the automatic readying mechanism is disabled. In this case the program must issue a READY command for all areas to be accessed unless the FORCE option is specified for the default usage mode. Areas using the default usage mode combined with the FORCE option are automatically readied even if the run-unit already issued READY for other areas.

Note: For more information on the limitations of using the FORCE option with ADS dialogs, see the Usage information in the Area Statement section.
