If SET IMS = OLD, you must use fixed format FOCPSBs. The FOCPSB file is an 80-character card image sequential file or PDS member (LRECL=80, RECFM=F or FB). Allocate it as ddname FOCPSB prior to accessing the database.
To associate a Master File with each PCB in the PSB, assign each PCB a filename. The records in the FOCPSB file are in the same order as the PCBs in the PSB. They have the following format:
Position |
Contents |
---|---|
1 |
* = Comment line. |
1-8 |
Master File name corresponding to a database PCB. |
9 |
Ignored. |
10-13 |
TERM - Terminal PCB. DB - Database PCB. SKIP - PCB is to be ignored .blank - Database PCB. |
14-80 |
Comments or indication that PSB was for PL/I application program. If the PSB was originally generated for a PL/I application program, place the characters PL1, PLI, PL/1, or PL/I starting in or after position 14 of the first PCB, prior to any comments. |
