Issue/Introduction

 If I wanted to update a description which is held in the extended text tables and also an attribute on the data table would it be possible to run one job to do the update?

 

Environment

 
Component: XTR

Resolution

Yes, this can be accomplished using DBXLOAD.

To do so provide a DBXTEXT DD in the JCL pointing to a empty dataset.

In addition, use the EXTTEXT keyword in the DBXLOAD load syntax to specify which repository text table (1-5) should be updated.

Example.
