Summary:
When using the CA Datacom VSAM Transparency product (called VT), it may be necessary to know the attributes or the DBID and Table used within a particular VIT (VSAM Interface Table).
Background:
DVVTPPR is a utility program created to report on the settings within a VIT.
There is a great deal of information produced in the report; some of the most common details queried are the VSAM file name, the VSAM record length, and the CA Datacom/DB DBID and Table.
DVVTPPR will issue a message to identify the release that created each VIT (all examples here refer to the sample VIT DVVUTPR):
DVR0004W DVVUTPR IS A RELEASE 2.1 VIT.
It will then give the details for each VIT processed:
VSAM INTERFACE TABLE INFORMATION FOR DVVUTPR
A single VIT can contain references to multiple VSAM files (there is one VIT per application program); here is a sample of the report showing one VSAM file entry for file CUSTMR, which has records that are 153 bytes long, and which used CA Datacom/DB DBID 10 and Table CUS (excess spaces elided):
VSAMNM : CUSTMR ... BASE : YES ... STRNO : ACB ... REUSE : NO
RKNAME : IDNO ... RKP : 0 ... RKLEN : 5
GETIT : NO ... WF2 : NO ...
DBID : 0010 ... MDB : NO ... MDTNM :
