Using Combinations of the DENTNO, DRELNO, DISTID, and ODISTID Parameters

Typically you specify one of the following:

• ODISTID to change, update, or delete distribution information and DISTID to add distribution information
• ODISTID or DISTID to change, update, or delete specific report IDs within a bundle

In cases when you have defined multiple ODISTIDs or DISTIDs with the same name, use the DRELNO and DENTNO parameters to identify which ODISTIDs or DISTIDs you want to process.

The parameters DENTNO, DRELNO, DISTID, and ODISTID can be used to identify a specific distribution entry or a series of distribution entries that are:

• To be updated (function U)
• To be deleted (function DD)
• To locate where a distribution entry is to be inserted or added (function blank)

The DENTNO and DRELNO parameters are ignored if the data value is zero or blank.

The DENTNO parameter maintains precedence over the other parameters.
