Run-Time (CMS) in IDMS

For Local mode, Shared DASD, and UCF access, you must issue a FILEDEF command for each IDMS database file. You place these FILEDEF commands in the FOCUS EXEC. To access Central Version databases, no special FILEDEF commands are required.

In addition, users will need to link to the Computer Associates production disk and issue the following GLOBAL commands:

GLOBAL TXTLIB IDMSLIB
GLOBAL LOADLIB libname

where:

libname

Is the name of the load library into which IDMS was link edited as specified in Assembling the IDMSOPTI Module.

To access IDMS databases through the Cross Machine Interface, the GATEWAY id and the target job must be started.
