CA IDMS DML Online Enhancements

CA IDMS DML Online (DMLO) has been enhanced to allow you to do the following tasks:

• Display sets associated with a given record.
• Return customized messages after invoking a user exit.
• Support larger subschemas.
• Provide a maintenance-independent means for linking the CICS front-end version of DMLO.

Set Information Display for a Record

DMLO now displays set information for a given record. If you type an X beside a record on the record display screen, DMLO lists all sets in which the record participates as a member. This enhancement makes it easier to navigate through the database.

Customizable Message Text

You can now customize the message text generated as a result of a non-zero return code that is set by the USDMLXIT user exit.

If your user exit sets a return code value between 1 and 9, you can tailor the text of the F880X message displayed to the user by DMLO to indicate the reason for the exception. The #MSG88001 table in the USDTPARM parameter module defines the message text to be displayed. To customize the messages, update the #MSG88001 table and regenerate your USDTPARM module.

For more information about creating a tailored USDTPARM module, see the DML Online User Guide.

Large Subschema Support

You can now use larger subschemas with DMLO by increasing the size of the runtime stack.

To increase the size of the stack, change the value of the STKSIZE parameter of the USDCPARM macro and regenerate your USDTPARM options module. The maximum size you can set for the STKSIZE parameter is16K (16384).

Default: 4K (4096)
