Either, you use IMS dynamic allocation, or you do not read the database.
Hi; Am using IMS(V9) and am a little confused. From what I read in the manual when using th DLI option you have to specify include DD statements for the Databases in th JCL stream. We use the DLI option and do NOT include the DD statements, yet we appear to be working ok. //STEP0060 EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,PARM=('DLI,BFBPOLR,PSBB32C,,0100,,0,,,,,') Am I missing something?
