• IDMS - Database

Issue/Introduction

PTFs LU02768 and LU10191 change the release level informational displays in IDMS from the older Incremental Release tape identification to the new Level Set number.

This change is correctly reflected in the DC390009 message at startup:

DC390009 V1 STARTING IDMS-CV/DC INITIALIZATION - 19.00.10

However the ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: prompt still shows the old information

V1  ENTER NEXT TASK CODE:      CA IDMS release 19.0 tape GJJ04I node SYSTEM01

Environment

Release: 19.0

Cause

The level set was added as a new CSA field, it did not replace the tape volser.  

  00049A         CSATAPE  DS    XL6                CA-IDMS TAPE VOLSER

 000BC0         CSALVLS  DS    2F                 IDMS Level Set value          P14379

Message DC055007 was not changed to use the level set.

Resolution

The DC055007 message can be manually updated to use the new field(s). See New Features Introduced in 2022 and scroll down to Level-Set Displays and New IDD Operands (PTF LU04373).

LU04373 provides more operands for message text substitution. See MESSAGE for documentation of all available operands.

To display the level set in message DC055007 instead of the tape volser, replace the &$9 operand with &$A. To also display the jobname, add the &$C operand. Modify the DC055007 message definition in IDD (or with an IDMSDDDL batch job) as follows to display the level set and jobname:

REP MESSAGE NAME IS DC055007
     SEVERITY IS 0
     LINE 1 MESSAGE IS
      '$V&$3 ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: IDMS Level Set &$A job &$C'
     - ' node &$7'
     DEFINITION IS
       'DC055007 ENTER NEXT TASK CODE: IDMS Level Set <level-set> '
     - 'job <jobname> node <node-name> '
     - ' '
     - 'This message is the system prompt for a task code.'
     COMMENTS
       'Module(s) = RHDCMSTR'
     - 'Additional information...'
     - ' '
     - ' '
.

Note:

The contents of the DC055007 message is also displayed with the message id DC074100 in the CV joblog at startup.

Modifications to DC055007 will be reflected in this display. Do not modify the DC074100 message - it is a generic message definition used for many console messages.
