SDDBC Commands
IMAGE Command
IMAGE Command
The IMAGE command is used to specify the database and the information used by the
schema processor when generating a schema and root file.
Syntax
IMAGE [;DATABASE=data-base-name]
[;CONTROL=(control-list)]
[;SCHEMA=schema-file-name]
[;OUTPUT=output-listing]
[;NAME=primary-or-alias]
[;CONFLICT=action-on-conflict]
[;COMMENT=comment-option]
[;ORDER=order-by-set-type-option]
{.}
Parameters
data-base-name: Primary name of the database for which a schema and
root file are to be created. A definition for this database
must already exist in the dictionary.
control-list: The options used by the schema processor when the
schema is processed. These options are the same ones as
described for the $CONTROL COMMAND in the
IMAGE/V Reference Manual, except for BLOCKMAX.
Note that the BLOCKMAX option is defined differently
here.
BLOCKMAX=nnnn sets the maximum physical block length (in words)
for a data set. If you do not include this parameter, the
default value for Image is used. If you enter BLOCKMAX=
without a value, the value declared in the dictionary is
used.”
Enter the options separated by commas as described in the
IMAGE/V Reference Manual. You need not enter the word
'$control' as it will be assigned automatically by SDDBC.
SDDBC does not scan for invalid options. Once you specify
to create the schema and root file, the invalid options are
detected by the Schema Processor.
schema-file-name: The schema will be written to the specified file. If the file
does not exist, a new file is created. If the file exists, you
will be asked for permission to overwrite it. The default is
to write the schema to the temporary file SDSCHEMA.
