Hi All,
I have a requirement to show differnent data for test/prod regions in my New DC Screen. I verified in a IMS DC Program existing, we get only the Lterm id, user id, module name, status code etc. I didnt get the region details thru linkage section.
PLease let me know if there is any way to find this out.
Thanks |

| See the AIBTDLI ENVIRON call. It returns a wealth of information about your execution environment. |

That's true, but it still doesnt give an indication if it is a test or prod environment.
And what does the TS mean by showing different data? Different screen lay-outs or different data to be displayed?
As far as I see it, a test environment is a mirror of a prod environment,
with the exception of the use of test data and/or prod data.
Test data can be prod data, if that is the case and developers are not allowed to see parts of that data, use obfuscated data for those parts. |

Of course not. AIBTDLI does not understand the shop's local naming convention. However, in every shop I've been in, the IMSID of the production environment is different from the development environment.
Many shops also have a QA, or Production Acceptance, test environment that is an exact duplicate (except for data) of production, but I don't think that's what the TS was asking about. |

HI,
My requirement is to show a link, which user will copy paste in Internet Explorer to view the link.
The link will be different for test and production. I login to IMS DC screen using IMSTB for test region and IMSPD for production. So using AIBTDLI ENVIRON call will i receive this information.
I read there is output parameter called "region identifier" from INQY call which is 4 bytes. but in the example they have mentioned as X'00000001'.
Can you please throw some light. |

That is four bytes, 00 00 00 01 are the values of each byte for your example. |

| So do i have to convert this hex result to character to find the region in my program. Is this correct? |

The first field in the IO area returned by the INQY ENVIRON call is an 8 byte IMS identifier. This is probably what you want. The quickest way to make sure is to try it out and see what it gives you. FYI, here is a Cobol definition of the ENVIRON IO area:
| Code: |
01 ENVIRON-AREA.
05 ENV-IMS-IDENTIFIER PIC X(8).
05 ENV-IMS-RELEASE-LEVEL PIC X(4).
05 ENV-IMS-CONTROL-REGION-TYPE PIC X(8).
05 ENV-IMS-APPL-REGION-TYPE PIC X(8).
05 ENV-REGION-IDENTIFIER PIC X(4).
05 ENV-APPL-PROGRAM-NAME PIC X(8).
05 ENV-PSB-NAME PIC X(8).
05 ENV-TRANSACTION-NAME PIC X(8).
05 ENV-USER-IDENTIFIER PIC X(8).
05 ENV-GROUP-NAME PIC X(8).
05 ENV-STATUS-GROUP-IND PIC X(4).
05 ENV-ADDR-OF-RECOVERY-TOKEN POINTER.
05 ENV-ADDR-OF-RECOVERY-TOKEN-X REDEFINES
ENV-ADDR-OF-RECOVERY-TOKEN PIC X(4).
05 ENV-ADDR-OF-APARM POINTER.
05 ENV-ADDR-OF-APARM-X REDEFINES
ENV-ADDR-OF-APARM PIC X(4).
05 ENV-IMS-SHRQ-IND PIC X(4).
05 ENV-RES-1 PIC X(002).
05 ENV-RES-2 PIC X(016).
05 ENV-RES-3 PIC X(002).
05 ENV-RES-4 PIC X(032).
05 FILLER PIC X(060). |

So you know which IMS you are using! Your test data should do the job !
If you dont understand that, maybe you should quit working in IT. |
