1.2.3.9.4 Parameters

GSAM PCB

The GSAM database corresponding PCB.

AIB

Specifies the AIB for the call. This parameter is an input and output parameter. These fields must be initialized in the AIB:

AIBID Eye catcher.

This 8-byte field must contain DFSAIBbb.

AIBLEN AIB lengths.

This field must contain the actual length of the AIB that the application program obtained.

AIBRSNM1Resource name.

This 8-byte, left-justified field must contain the PCB name of a GSAM PCB.

AIBOALENI/O area length.

This field must contain the length of the I/O area specified in the call list. I/O Area.

Specifies the kind of data set you are opening.

Note:

This parameter is ignored. In Oracle Implementation for IMS/DB, we simulate GSAM database with local file system, so, I/O area is not used to specify the data set kind. We use the PROCOPT option in $appname.psb to define whether the data set is to be read only or to be get and append.
