SYNONYMS

Optional

Assigns synonyms to Total element and file names. If this statement is not input, the generator assigns existing Total names to the corresponding CA IDMS/DB elements and records in the schema. To simplify the pilot project, we recommend that you not use synonyms.

AREA

Optional

Assigns Total files to user-specified CA IDMS/DB areas. If this statement is not included, the CA IDMS/DB record types that correspond to Total files will all be contained in the first area named in the SCHEMA statement.

SCHEMA

Required

Provides the generator with the SCHEMA, FILE, and AREA components of the CA IDMS/DB schema description.

SUBSCHEMA

Required

Provides the generator with the subschema description. The SUBSCHEMA statement allows you to name the subschema and to include informational entries in the subschema.

USAGE-MODE

Optional

Specifies CA IDMS/DB ready options for database areas that the runtime interface accesses in a usage mode other than shared update.

LOAD

Optional

Specifies whether the unloaded Total data contains master file control keys and linkpath information, and specifies the logical record length of the unloaded Total data if it is other than 120 bytes. You need to include this statement only if the unloaded Total data will contain master file control keys and linkpath information, or if the logical record length of the unloaded Total data is other than 120 bytes.
