Use the application to control the DEDB areas.

Select the AREA application from the DATABASE menu to display all areas.

This application shows a scrollable list of the Data Entry Databases defined for IMS by name. For each DEDB, it shows the area name, the number of area data sets (ADS), a usage percentage of independent overflow and sequential dependent control intervals, the active utility (if scheduled), and the current status of the DEDB area.

Enter any of the following one- or two-character line commands on the line of the DEDB area that you want to change.

Line command	Description
P	issues the /STOP AREA command to stop the DEDB area, which closes the data sets for the area and deallocates them
S	issues the /START AREA command to start the DEDB area, which reallocates the DEDB area data sets
DR	issues the /DBRECOVERY AREA command with NOFEOV, which stops the area, closes the data sets, and deallocates them The IMS log does not switch to the next OLDS (online log data sets)
DF	issues the /DBRECOVERY AREA command without NOFEOV, which stops the area of the database, closes the data sets, and deallocates them The IMS log switches to the next OLDS.
D	displays the AREA DETAIL application for the area selected by the D line command

The following table contains the field descriptions for the DEDB AREA application:

Field name	Description
AREA	one- to eight-character area name
DATABASE	one- to eight-character name of the DEDB that owns this area
TOTAL ADS	total number of area data sets for this area
OVFLOW PCT USED	percentage of independent overflow control intervals used
SEQ DEP PCT USED	percentage of sequential dependent overflow control intervals used N/A is displayed if sequential dependents are not defined
ACTIVE UTILITY	type of utility active against this area, which can be REORG: DEDB Reorganization utility CREATE: EDB Create utility COMPARE: DEDB ADS Compare utility SCAN: DEDB sequential dependent Scan utility DELETE: DEDB sequential dependent Delete utility
STATUS	current area status, which can be blank: Status is not displayed; the DEDB area is in normal operation. RECOVERY NEEDED: All Error Queue Elements (EQE) are used and the DEDB needs to be recovered. STOPPED: The /STOP AREA command was issued for the area. NOTOPEN: The area is not yet open which is not an exception to normal operation.

Exceptions off (X OFF) is the default. All DEDB areas are displayed, including those that are an exception to normal operation. If the area is operating normally, a status is not displayed. If X ON is entered in the primary command line, only the areas in an exception to normal operation are shown. The exception status can be RECOVERY NEEDED, or STOPPED.
