Hi,
I have a requirement that the DB2 table being queried has the composite primary key(made of 4 fields). User may enter the 2 or 3 of the fields and the program has to get the matching records displaying one record per page. When the user enters PF8 the COBOL program should get the second record and PF7 means previous record ( from the fileds matching entered values only) and so on... I searched in the net but the IBM material seems unavailable for the same. Kindly get me some help |

paging is a process that should always be decoupled from the data access
two reasons ( mainly )
- software reuse, all the decently managed shops have a generalized paging routine..
( common process used by everybody, no need to rewite and test every time )
data consistency
if for every page tha data base is reaccessed the data might be different
( if You jot down some numbers while browsing You expect them not to change until the end )
the msot common solution is..
access the data base,
write the formatted lines to TS
invoke the standard paging program |
