Beginning a Session

To begin an online session:

1. Sign on to the host teleprocessing (TP) monitor, according to site-standard procedures.
2. Enter one of the following:
   • Site-standard task code that invokes the online DDDL compiler; the installation default is IDD.
   • Site-standard task code that invokes the online DDDL compiler under the transfer control facility (TCF); the installation default is IDDT. For a complete description about using online IDD under TCF, refer to the CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide manual.
3. Optionally, enter the SIGNON command on the first line of the screen I/O area. If the SET OPTIONS statement specifies SECURITY FOR IDD SIGNON IS ON, SIGNON must be the first command issued in the session; see SIGNON Statement for additional information.
4. Optionally, enter a SET OPTIONS statement to establish session- or dictionary-specific processing options; see SET OPTIONS Statement for additional information.

You can also initiate an online DDDL compiler session from another online component by using the transfer control facility; for additional information, refer to the CA IDMS Common Facilities Guide manual.
