Parameters

level-number INCLUDE IDMS

Instructs the precompiler to copy one or more record descriptions into your program at the location of the INCLUDE IDMS statement.

The optional level-number clause instructs the precompiler to copy descriptions into your program at a different level than the level specified in the data dictionary. Level-number must be an integer in the range 01 through 99. If your program specifies level-number, the DML precompiler copies the first level of code to the level specified by level-number and adjusts all other levels accordingly. If your program does not specify level-number, the descriptions copied by the DML precompiler have the same level numbers as originally specified in the dictionary.

record-name

Specifies the name of the record to be copied. It can be the primary name of a record stored in the data dictionary, or a synonym.

VERSION version-number

Optionally qualifies IDD records with a version number. Version-number must be an integer in the range 1 through 9999. Version-number defaults to the highest version number of the record defined in the data dictionary for the language and operating mode under which the program compiles.

attribute

Optionally allows you to instruct the DML precompiler to include PL/I attributes in the PL/I DECLARE statement. The DML precompiler generates the PL/I DECLARE statement for the record that you specify in record-name.
