Batch Command Facility

The following CMS commands are used to execute the Batch Command Facility.

When using the IDMSBCF program to execute a utility statement, code these commands along with the required statements for each of the utilities.

The file assignments for each utility statement and program are presented on subsequent pages in this chapter.

Local mode IDMSBCF (CMS)

FILEDEF SYSLST PRINTER
FI dcmsg DISK idms dmsgdb fm (RECFM F LRECL ppp BLKSIZE ppp XTENT nnn

Insert file assignments required by the utility statements

FILEDEF sysjrnl TAP1 SL VOLID nnnnnn (RECFM VB LRECL lll BLKSIZE bbbb
FILEDEF SYSIDMS DISK sysidms input a
FILEDEF SYSIPT DISK utility input a
GLOBAL LOADLIB idmslib dbalib
GLOBAL LOADLIB idmslib
OSRUN IDMSBCF

Important! Additional file assignments might be needed for the user catalog and the system dictionary.

Note: When executing local mode or batch-to-CV mode execs in CMS, filedefs for CDMSLIB loadlibs are optional. However, if omitted, and multiple EXECOS OSRUN statements are coded in the same EXEC, you must code the following CMS statement prior to the first EXECOS OSRUN statement in the EXEC:

SET STORECLR ENDCMD

You must also code the following CMS statement following the last EXECOS OSRUN statement:

SET STORECLR ENDSVC

idmslib	Filename of the load library containing CA IDMS executable modules
dbalib	Filename of the load library containing the DMCL and database name table load modules
dcmsg	DDname of the system message (DDLDCMSG) area
idms dmsgdb fm	File identifier of the system message (DDLDCMSG) area
ppp	Page size of the database file
nnn	Number of pages in the database file
sysjrnl	DDname of the tape journal file
nnnnnn	Volume serial number of the tape journal file
lll	Record length of the tape journal file
