CA IDMS Visual DBA lets you decide what happens when you create, alter, or delete an object, and then click OK. You can view, execute, and log the syntax that CA IDMS Visual DBA creates.
To choose the action that occurs when you click OK, select Preferences from the File menu and then click the OK Actions icon in the Preferences window. For each CA IDMS compiler (IDD, OCF/BCF, schema, subschema, sysgen, or DCMT), select one or more check boxes to log, view, and execute syntax.
By default, CA IDMS Visual DBA executes the object syntax and displays the syntax only if an error occurs. If you select View Syntax only, it displays, but does not execute the syntax. If you select View Syntax and Exec Syntax, it displays the syntax and asks if you want to execute it.
If you select Log Syntax, a log file is created with an extension that designates the compiler and all object syntax for that compiler is logged to the log file. Later, you can open the log file, edit it if you want to, and then upload and execute it as a batch file on the mainframe. You can also execute the log file as a command script in a command console.
