Batch Compiler Execution and JCL › Batch Compiler JCL

Batch Compiler JCL

The map compiler accepts compiler statements that were either written by the map developer or generated by the DECOMPILE or TERSE process of the map utility. The resulting entity occurrences are placed in the DDLDML area of the data dictionary and can be used:

• By the batch utility, to generate map load modules for application programs
• By DML processors, to interpret and expand mapping requests coded in CA IDMS application programs
• By the CA ADS compiler, to interpret and expand mapping requests in CA ADS dialogs

The batch compiler executes in update mode. Run the batch compiler through the central version or as a local CA IDMS/DB program with active journal files to protect the integrity of the data dictionary.
