Hi Guys,

What Does IDMS_STATUS do in IDMS?

If we are using IDMS_STATUS like
CALL IDMS_STATUS;

What Basically is happening when this statements gets executed?

Thanks,
Sandy

This statement is checking de result of a idms-statement (obtain/modify/store/find/erase)

It calls a procedure (section) that must be imported in your cobol-source:

Hi Nowar,

Thanks a Lot for that information.

It means it(IDMS_STATUS) is working as SQLCODE in DB2. In DB2 After a querry is executed we check for its SQLCODE. If it is 0 then the Querry was executed successfully and if it is less than 0 than there were some errors.

Is my understanding correct?

NOWAR

Yes, with DB2 you test on the sql-code and in IDMS you test the error-status, with is a result of PERFORM IDMS-STATUS

For example :
Retrieving a record-occurence with a calc-key (like Primairy key in DB2)
