RE: what is idms-restart ?

The idms-restart is a record which will keep track of the number of records(& its data) processed before a particular program abends.
The restart record has a calc key which is nothing but the program name.
If the program abends because of any reason like deadlock/bad data etc, the restart record will have all the info. upto last record processed.
You should rerun the program so that it will start processing from the next record.(it will not process all the record from rec no.1)
This is very useful in idms if the input file has large no. f records.
The program should handle the erasing of restart record if there is successful execution. |
