Key features of File-AID for IMS/CICS and File-AID for IMS/DC
File-AID for IMS/CICS and File-AID for IMS/DC contain the following features:
Provide the capability to browse and edit IMS databases while they are online in IMS or CICS. Data is viewed and edited using full-screen, ISPF-like panels. Changing a data field in a segment is done by typing over the field value.
Require a minimal amount of training. File-AID for IMS is a menu-driven, online system that is modeled after ISPF.
Use existing DBDs to define a database structure. Also use existing COBOL or PL/I segment layouts as templates over the data.
Provide easily understood commands such as CHILD, TWIN, NEXT, PARENT, and ROOT that are used to navigate through a database.
Provide the capability to insert, delete, and repeat segments and their substructures.
Support HDAM, HIDAM, HISAM, HSAM, DEDB, MSDB, and logically related databases, including databases with secondary indexes. DEDB databases are supported even if some areas are down.
Provide an optional audit trail of all segments updated, inserted, repeated, and deleted during an edit session.
Provide an optional data integrity check to verify that a concurrent update did not occur while a segment was being updated.
