Hi,
in one my program i have to perfrom a REPL call to modify first 2 fileds in segment.
while doing a REPL call if the I/O area which contains modified data for first 2 fileds is less than the segment lenght then will rest of the fields will get junk values or will they preserve their old value. |

ims/db is record ( SEGMENT == RECORD ) oriented,
the I/O unit is the segment for the data length defined in the dbd
the field naming in the dbd/psb definition is for key control/relation only |

| Is it a variable length segment? Why would you issue a replace for an area shorter? |
