Issue/Introduction

For an IDMS database record with a location mode of DIRECT, it is normal to move -1 to SUBSCHEMA-CTRL field DIRECT-DBKEY prior to the STORE command.

How is this done in DMLO?

Environment

Release: All supported releases.
Component: DMLO.

Resolution

DMLO also has access to SUBSCHEMA-CTRL fields such as DIRECT-DBKEY .

Use the DMLO MOVE command to move a value to DIRECT-DBKEY prior to STORE.

For example:
In DMLO, DISPLAY recname which will bring up the record layout.
Fill in all record data fields needed.
MOVE -1 to DIRECT-DBKEY
STORE recname

MOVE the value -1 or a suggested dbkey in the decimal format DMLO expects (e.g.  751682-0001) or move a hexadecimal dbkey value (e.g.  x'0B784201') .
