CA IDMS DME Customization Macros

Two Customization macros are provided with CA IDMS DME which allow you to change various CA IDMS DME runtime options:

The CA IDMS DME Customization macro gives the system administrator the ability to do the following:

• Specify the default dictionary for CA IDMS DME online documentation
• Specify whether you want to enable IDD DB locking when an edit session is started
• Specify the command delimiter
• Specify the pad character as NULLS or BLANKS
• Set the default IDD version number
• Allow changes to USERID from within a CA IDMS DME session
• Specify whether or not you want to sort module lists
• Specify whether you want to, on CA IDMS DME exit, reset the database and node to the database and node used at signon.
• Set the default entry mode to display the Edit Module screen.

The CA IDMS/DC Sort subroutine Customization macro gives the system administrator the ability to:

• Specify the amount of main storage and auxiliary storage to be made available to the CA IDMS/DC Sort subroutine used by CA IDMS DME
• Indicate how space is to be allocated to buffers at runtime. The allocation of buffers also depends on the record length in a particular sort.

These runtime options can be changed at anytime after initial product installation, either before or after SMP/E ACCEPT processing. See the CA IDMS Installation and Maintenance Guide—z/OS for detailed instructions on processing Customization macro changes under SMP/E.
