On this menu you can obtain field-specific help by pressing F1. To exit AUTOIMAN, press F3.

If you press Enter on this menu without having entered a valid Retrieval PIDT and Inquiry PIDT, the PIDT Selection Panel is displayed, to assist you in selecting PIDT names. When you have completed entry of PIDTs and other necessary information on this menu and pressed Enter, the Field Selection for Retrieval PIDT Name screen appears.

The following table provides field descriptions for the AUTOIMAN Main Menu.

Field

Description

Retrieval PIDT

You must enter the Retrieval PIDT. If you do not, a selection list, from which you may select a Retrieval PIDT, displays after you press Enter.

If you enter a Retrieval PIDT, it must exist in the PIDT Selection Library listed on the Main Menu. Enter the correct library if the default library name generated by AUTOIMAN is inappropriate.

The next field, the Inquiry PIDT, follows the same rules. Additionally, you must enter both PIDTs to continue, or the PIDT Selection Panel displays.

Inquiry PIDT

You must enter the Inquiry PIDT. If you do not, a selection list, from which you may select an Inquiry PIDT, displays after you press Enter.

If you enter an Inquiry PIDT, it must exist in the PIDT Selection Library listed on the Main Menu. Enter the correct library if the default library name generated by AUTOIMAN is inappropriate.

The preceding field, the Retrieval PIDT, follows the same rules. Additionally, you must enter both PIDTs to continue, or the PIDT Selection Panel appears.

Master/Access File Name

You can specify a name for the Master and Access File or leave this field blank. If blank, the name will default to the specified Retrieval PIDT name.

Replace Existing MFD, Access File?

This message displays if you select a Retrieval PIDT for which a Master File and Access File already exist. You can enter Y or N (the default). If you enter Y, the new Master File and Access File will replace the existing file.

DBID

This one-character database identifier field is required. It is used as input to the PICADBID field of the PICA block when the adapter is communicating to the Information/Management database. 5 is the default value, which indicates a read access type to the Information/Management database. If you want to access another Information/Management type database with other identifiers, you can do so by specifying its DBIDs in this field.

Session Member

This is a 7- to 8-character session member name used as input to the PICASESS field of the PICA block when the adapter is communicating to the Information/Management database. Specify the session member appropriate for your retrieval PIDT. This session member must be assembled, linked, and defined to your Information/Management database.

Application ID

This is a 1- to 8-character name that identifies the user application to the Information/Management database. It will be used as input to the PICAUSRN field of the PICA block when the adapter communicates to the Information/Management database. Specify the application ID appropriate for your retrieval PIDT. This application ID must be valid in your Information/Management database.

Class Name

This is a 1- to 8-character privilege class name used by the application when executing a transaction. It is used as input to the PICACLSN field of the PICA block when the adapter communicates to the Information/Management database. Specify the appropriate privilege class for your application ID. This privilege class name must be valid in your Information/Management database.

PIDT Selection Library

This library is the partitioned data set containing all Retrieval and Inquiry PIDTs. AUTOIMAN can access only PIDTs that are in the library specified here.

Master File Destination

This is the partitioned data set that stores the new Master File. The partitioned data set must be cataloged.

Access File Destination

This is the partitioned data set that stores the new Access File. The partitioned data set must be cataloged.
