PSB and DBD Data Sets panel

The PSB and DBD Data Sets panel allows you to view and modify the names of the PSB and DBD data sets used by the FM/IMS functions.

The panel is displayed when, on the Subsystem Settings Menu panel, you select:

  • Option 7
  • A subsystem that does not use IMS-managed ACBs.

The Subsystem field displays the IMS subsystem ID you specified on the Subsystem Settings Menu.

The panel displays the data set names that an online FM/IMS function uses when this IMS subsystem ID is specified on the function's Entry panel.

The FM/IMS administrator may have fixed the values of some or all of the data set names displayed on the panel. If a data set has been fixed, the panel field is protected and you cannot change the specified value.

If a data set has not been fixed, you can change the value that has been specified for it.

To reset all the data set names on the panel to their subsystem defaults, enter the RESET command.

To exit the panel saving the changes you have made, enter the EXIT command (F3).

To exit the panel without saving the changes you have made, enter the CANCEL command (F12).

PSB
The names of the load libraries that contain the Program Specification Blocks (PSBs) that you want FM/IMS and IMS to use. When a File Manager/IMS function that uses a static PSB is run, the specified libraries are allocated to the IMS DD.
DBD
The names of the load libraries that contain the database definitions (DBDs) that you want FM/IMS and IMS to use. When a File Manager/IMS function is run, the specified libraries are allocated to the IMS DD.
When the FM/IMS function uses a dynamic PSB, IMS requires the following DBDs to be in at least one of the specified DBD libraries:
  • The DBD for the database you want to access.
  • The DBD for each database that is logically related to the database you want to access.
When the FM/IMS function uses a static PSB, IMS requires the following DBDs to be in at least one of the specified DBD libraries:
  • The DBD for each database that is specified in the PSB.
  • The DBD for each database that is logically related to a database specified in the PSB.
