RUN MODE(LOAD/EDIT/SHOW/EXIT)>
In response to the prompt, you can choose one of four options, which have the following
meaning:
LOAD indicates the named database is to be loaded.
EDIT indicates the named database is to be loaded and editing prompts issued
for each data set.
SHOW indicates the named database is not to be loaded, but the schema and set
entry counts are to be displayed.
EXIT indicates the utility is to be terminated.
Pressing [[RETURN]] in response to this prompt indicates that the default for RUN
MODE is used, which is LOAD. In an operating mode of LOAD, you are prompted for
information only when schema changes are encountered. In the EDIT mode, you can select
an operating mode for the data sets. An operating mode for a data set is similar to the
operating mode for a database. Next, the utility prompts you to enter the new name for the
data base with the following prompt:
NEW BASE NAME>
If the name of the stored database has not changed, including qualifier information such as
MPE group and account, press [[RETURN]] as your response; otherwise, enter the new
name for the database.
If the named database cannot be found, the following prompt is issued:
BASE NOT FOUND>
This prompt indicates that the identified database, either from the stored file or entered in
response to NEW BASE NAME, cannot be found. You should re-enter the base name in
response to this prompt. If the prompt is reissued, terminate the program by entering
[[RETURN]] and make sure the database is where you think it is. When the named
database is found, you are prompted for additional database information as follows:
BASE PASSWORD>
MODE>
The password you enter in response to the password prompt should be one that allows
modify access to the database. This password is not displayed as you enter it. If the
password grants only partial access to the database, the utility will load only those parts of
the database to which it has access; no warning is given. If the password is entered
incorrectly or does not grant modify access, a database operation error occurs during the
loading process. The utility issues the following questions if a database operation error
occurs:
DISPLAY INPUT RECORD(Y/N)?>
CONTINUE SET LOAD(Y/N)?>
CONTINUE LOAD PROCESS(Y/N)?>
You can write the contents of the record to the indicated LIST FILE by entering a “Y” or
[[RETURN]].
