For the SCRCDATA(IMS(value)) format of the SOURCEDATA keyword, you can specify only one of the following values to describe the IMS database input:

Value

Description

SEGMENT

A segment name to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMS(SEGMENT(name))) Because the Segment Dump utility reads the data by blocks, this keyword processes all of the segments in the data set group, not just the segment type named.

PARTNO

Partition number of the database to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMS(PARTNO(number)))

DSGNO

Number of the data set group to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMS(DSGNO(number)))

DSGDDN

ddname of the data set group to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMS(DSGDDN(name)))

For the SCRCDATA(IMAGE(values)) format of the SOURCEDATA keyword, you must specify the DDN and DSGDS parameters to describe the image copy data set input. The IDDNAME parameter is optional.

Parameter

Description

DDN

ddname of the image copy data set to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMAGE(DDN(name)))

DSGDS

Database data set name of the data set group to be processed, for example: SRCDATA(IMAGE(DDN(name),DSGDS(name))). Specify &MDA to indicate that the database data set name is to be obtained from an MDA control block.

IDDNAME

ddname of the HIDAM index image copy data set, for example: SRCDATA(IMAGE(DDN(name),IDDNAME(name))). This parameter is required for a HIDAM image copy if you specify the KEY keyword.
