Action line commands for database online views
The following table lists action line commands, a brief description of each, and states whether the action will update the SMDBASxx member as well as the active database:
Command | Description | Update SMDBASxx member |
|---|---|---|
D | Shows field columns for the selected database data set in a vertical display. | No |
AD | Displays the Database Add panel to add a VSAM KSDS data set to the database. (This action command can be inserted on the line of any existing database data set.) Notes:
| Yes |
NX | Marks the selected database data set to be used as the next active data set when the current ‘Active’ data set becomes full or a SWAP command is issued. | No |
RM | Displays the Database Remove Confirmation panel to remove the selected database data set. Note: Before removing a database data set with a File Status of RW, ensure there are at least two other data sets with a File Status of RW remaining for the database to initialize successfully. | Yes |
RO | Marks the selected database data set to be opened in Read-only mode (input). | Yes |
RW | Marks the selected database data set to be opened in Read-Write mode (output), which will allow the data set to be used for recording data. | Yes |
SW | Issues the SWAP command against the database to begin recording data on the current database data set with a File Status of ‘Next’. (This action command can be inserted on the line of any existing database data set.) | No |
QU | Marks the selected database data set to be de-allocated from the database and placed in Quiesce status. | Yes |
All action line commands (besides D and SW) cause the active database to be terminated and restarted. The following SVM6013I message is displayed in the MainView SRM joblog to indicate that an online request was made to alter the product database:
