PARM Operand

The PARM operand of the EXEC statement allows a required logical database name and an optional keyword of DEBUG as follows:

PARM=’databasename,DEBUG'

databasename: Defines the 1-16 byte CA Datacom/AD logical database name. This parameter is used as the high-order field of the key for each CA Datacom/AD database element. The DBPARMS member for the CA7ONL instance references this logical database name. Determine this name not by CA WA CA 7 Edition instance name but perhaps by CA WA CA 7 Edition application names. In this way, when the data is moved from one CA Datacom/AD environment to another, no conflicts exist. Examples of logical database names include CA7PAYROLL, CA7ACCOUNTA, and CA7APPLHEALTH.
DEBUG: This keyword is a diagnostic option to use when working with CA Support. The option suppresses some items in the sort process so that better diagnostics are available for debugging any problems that occur.
