This section describes how to use IMS compatible checkpoint/restart calls. The following table summarizes information about the IMS format calls that an IMS compatible application program can issue to request checkpoint/restart support.

For convenience, this section refers to the calls that the application program issues to the langTDLI module (where lang is the programming language) by the function code in the calls. For example, the XRST call is used to refer to the call to langTDLI with the XRST function code.
