i am new to IMS right now i am working in development project,
I have a few a questions on issuing the calls in the IMS Program,
so please any one of u can give the answer on the below question

Note: Here "what type of call " means : like GU , GN, GNP or other type

1) if I want to access the hole segment then what type of call I should give ?

2) if I wants to access the particular occurrences of the root segment what type of call
I should give?

3) If i wants to access all occurrence of the root segment then what type of call I should give?

4) If I wants to access all the occurrence of the every segment from the second level ?

5) If I wants to access all the segments from towards below one segment then what call I should give?

6) if I want to delete the particular segment then what call I have to give before delete the segment ?

HI MKR,

1) if I want to access the whole segment then what type of call I should give ?
What do you mean by that do u want to get all the occurrence of particlular segment?

2) if I wants to access the particular occurrences of the root segment what type of call
I should give?
You need to give qualified ssa GU call for this

3) If i wants to access all occurrence of the root segment then what type of call I should give?
In one shot u cant get it u need to give GU then continously GN until return code is GB(End of database)

4) If I wants to access all the occurrence of the every segment from the second level ?
Set the parentage on that segment by GU call then give GNP

5) If I wants to access all the segments from towards below one segment then what call I should give?
Set the parentage on that segment by GU call then give GNP

6) if I want to delete the particular segment then what call I have to give before delete the segment ?
You need to give GH call to hold that particular segment then need just issue DLET call
Hope it will helpful

Hi Priyesh,

Yeap You are right first we need to give Gu Call for that segment or we can also gi9ve gn call it will automatically fetch the first occurance of the root than GN call giveus the further occurances.

Hope it will helpful for you

Hi Ekta,

Firstly thanks for letting me think I havn't forgotten everything. And yes ur comments indeed help me.

But actually I was saying we cant give GU call when it comes to fetch all... because you dont know what first occurrence contain to pass on first GU call. So it should be only consecutive GNs upto a GB.

Do I make any sense ?

Yeap u r right if u know the unique key for the first ocuurance than issue GU call followed by GN until end of datbase otherwise issue only GN call until reach end of database
