Current Environment
The top of the screen displays the environment definition name with its description that is in effect for the current session. It also includes a line identifying the extent of the IMS Catalog support, for example:
FLEX job type
Enter one of the following:
DLI | Accesses and processes offline databases in a batch environment created within TSO. The databases must be either offline from IMS DC and CICS regions or available under IMS data sharing. DLI parameter DFSDF must be specified for DLI access to an IMS managed ACB environment |
BMP | Accesses and processes online databases in a BMP environment created within TSO. The databases must be online to an IMS DC region or a DBCTL region. Region type must be BMP to access FAST PATH databases. If a DEDB database has multiple areas and some areas are down, File-AID for IMS skips over the down areas and continues processing. |
FLEX Command dataset
Enter the name of the FLEX command statement data set.
Member
Enter the member containing the FLEX statements you wish to process. Leave member blank to select the FLEX member from the FLEX statement member list.
Segment/Layout XREF dataset
Enter the name of the XREF data set to be used.
PSB Member
Enter the name of the PSB to be used by the FLEX job. See PCBs-Used-for-FLEX for more information about selecting a PCB for a FLEX job Leave the member blank to select the PSB from the list of PSBs.
DBD Member
Enter the member that describes the database you wish to process using FLEX. The DBD member entered must describe a physical database. Logical and index DBDs are not supported in the FLEX option. Leave member blank to select the DBD from the list of DBDs.
COBOL (or PL/I) layout Dataset 1 and Dataset 2
Enter one or two data set names containing the COBOL or PLI layouts to be used.
Create an Audit Trail Dataset
Enter a Y to allocate an audit trail data dataset for use during the FLEX job. Enter an N if you do not want to process the FLEX job with an audit trail dataset.
