z/OS Local Mode Considerations

Scratch areas:

If both scratch areas are defined in the DMCL, CA IDMS only uses the local scratch area (SYSLOC.DDLOCSCR, dclscr). When running CA OLQ Batch with a DMCL that only defines the system scratch area (SYSTEM.DDLSCR), you must format this area with the following statement:

FORMAT FILE SYSTEM.dcscr

Accessing SQL Tables:

When accessing SQL tables, you must add the following statements:

//sqldd     DD   DSN=idms.syssql.ddlcat,DISP=SHR
//sqlxdd    DD   DSN=idms.syssql.ddlcatx,DISP=SHR

 

sqldd

DDname of the SQL catalog (DDLCAT) area

 

idms.syssql.ddlcat

Data set name of the SQL catalog (DDLCAT) area

 

sqlxdd

DDname of the SQL catalog index (DDLCATX) area

 

idms.syssql.ddlcatx

Data set name of the SQL catalog index (DDLCATX) area


When Creating Tables:

When using CA OLQ Batch to create tables, change:

//sysjrnl  DD   DUMMY

To:

//sysjrnl  DD   DSN=idms.tapejrnl,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=tape

Where:

 

sysjrnl

DDname of the tape journal file

 

idms.tapejrnl

Data set name of the tape journal file

 

tape

Symbolic device name for tape file
