Re: DLI loading on Tk4 and MVSCE?
开云体育John, It has been a VERY LONG TIME AGO – however, I seem to remember there is a HIGH VALUES record at the end ? There were many tricks with the old IMS data bases – like loading in reverse sequence to prevent the index from getting overwhelmed as it grew ? ? ?

A couple of little tweaks to the COBOL code and to the VSAM cluster setup, and it all appears to have worked. A hundred thousand segments loaded onto a new DL/I database successfully, and read back/printed using IDCAMS. ? Just one interesting thing, there's a 100,001st segment loaded at the back end of the VSAM file, which appears to have some kind of high-values key. I suspect that it's been added there by DL/I or VSAM for some obscure reason that will hopefully become clear in due course. ? I hope to have time soon to get onto some real testing - updating segments, inserting and deleteing segmants, and so on. ? JJ |
