Getting error on PROCOPT=P option

Hi all,

I am not much good in IMS.

While doing a PSBGEN, I am getting an error.
"PCB180 - PROCOPT OPERAND IS INVALID"

In the PSB, I use PROCOPT=P for a path call. But while compiling I am getting the aboce message.

I am using a HDAM database. the following is the PCB macro.

I believe that P may be specified for PROCOPT only in combination with other processing options.

Thanks for your quick replay.

Could you please expand it a little more.

Thanks

A path call is one in which not only the requested segment but all its parents are returned. If path calls are to be used, the PCB statement must have PROCOPT=xP. However, the PCB must also define what types of processes are to be used (get, replace, etc.); that is the "x" in PROCOPT=xP. Specifying PROCOPT=P is invalid because it doesn't specify the types of processes.

The issue has been solved by providing PROCOPT=AP.

Thanks for your valuable information.
