Hello,

Go to File-Aid IMS option & select FLEX, hit F1.
Quote:
The purpose of the FLEX Option is to support editing and validation of FLEX command statements and to create JCL to run a FLEX job. The FLEX Option is chosen by selecting OPTION F from the File-AID for IMS Primary Option Menu. When this option is selected, the FLEX Option Menu is displayed. This screen offers two options. OPTION 1, Command Statements, is used to create, edit or validate FLEX command statements. OPTION 2, Build FLEX JCL, is used to create and edit JCL used to run a FLEX job.


And IMS is not a tool... icon_neutral.gif

Hi Anuj,
I called Fileaid for IMS(FIMS) as a tool not IMS as a tool..

Hello,

Screenshots should not be posted in the forum - they take way too much space and usually make a mess of the topic.

When posting from a 3270-type screen, it is best to use copy/paste and the "Code" tag for readability and to preserve alignment.
