Ideal Load Module Table and DST

Products

Issue/Introduction

This article looks at one particular feature of Ideal - the in-core Load Module Table (LMT) - and the affect of Daylight Saving Time (DST).

Environment

z/OS 

Ideal 15.1 ( and older versions)

Resolution

The LMT is not affected by the time change, nor by the DBOC SHUTDOWN or DBOC STARTUP processing.

If the LMT needs to be rebuilt for any other reason, issue CICS transaction IDPI and this will run the same PLTPI program. There will be no output returned to the user screen, as this transaction and program are designed to be run during startup and without user interaction. One other point about the LMT is that if the PLTPI processing is not successful, and if the LMT is not built during startup, the first RUN command processed by Ideal will cause the LMT to be built at that time.
