VERSION

The VERSION control statement is used to set the database version.

In addition, after the index file data set has been created for an existing database, you can use the VERSION statement to convert the prior release index file. The database conversion converts the old master index file that resided in the data file data sets to the new index file data sets.

The high-level name of the database must have been defined with the NAME control statement (or the PARM parameter of the EXEC JCL statement). In addition, the database must have been created using the ADDDS control statement.

Syntax:

VERSION releasenumber

where

releasenumber: This value specifies the number of the CA View release to which the database is to be set. If not specified, this parameter defaults to the current release.

Valid values are 11.7, 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2.

After running SARDBASE VERSION, run SARINIT to set the initialization parameters.
