Some time back i saw the answer for this in this forum but now i am not able to trace it back as i had searched for more than 2 hours.

Pls help me regarding this.

Thanks,

Hi Rasha,

I'm afraid you have to be a bit more specific. What do you mean with commands used in the IMSDC screen. There's a difference between commands and writing a Message Processing Program (MPP). Some commands are /DIS REG A. (display all active IMS regions), /STA PROG programname (starts the program which deals with a transaction), /STA TRAN transactionname (starts a transaction). Example:

/dis tran zz

DFS249 13:56:14 NO INPUT MESSAGE CREATED.
ZZ 2 1 0 65535 3 9 9 13 0 0 NONE 0
PSBNAME: TPZZVER
*06019/135612*

If you talk about an MPP then you look at something different. You'd have to understand the architecture which forces you to read manuals and follow courses. You'll have to deal with understandings of Scratch Pad Area (SPA), MID/MOD and DIF/DOF (Message Formatting System) and message handling (GU SPA, GN MSG and ISRT SPA). Furthermore you'll likely need knowlegde about program-to-program switch and a lot more. It's not easy to explain all of this in this forum.

If you have any specific question please get back to me.

Cheers,

These are the cmds from previous posts...

1) /FORMAT :- USe this command whenever you want to use the Message Format Service(MFS).
Syntax :- /FORMAT <modname>

2) /TEST :- Whenver you want to test your MFS blocks, put them in the PDS named IMS*.TFORMAT and give a /TEST MFS at the terminal . then
give /FOR followed by the MOD name

3) /TEST MFS is used in general to refresh the Screen format. (i.e If you modify any screen layout and want to display the screen with your new design changes use this command first and the give a /FOR <Modname>.

4)DIS STATUS TRAN gives the status of the Trasaction associated with the PSB.

5) /START TRAN tranname will start the transaction if it stops during any abend.

6)/START PROGRAM programname will start program.

Thanks,
Rajesh

Can we also be using these commands to test our sqls? I am meaning, can I type in IMSDC screen

/SELECT * FROM etcera?

This would be good for testing sqls before I am putting them in my programs.

Thanks you all.
