Hi..Need some advice on AIBTDLI calls..

As I understand by AIBTDLI usage we can refer PCBs by name rather than address (provided the name is coded in PSB).

Does this additionally mean
1) ENTRY DLITCBL is not needed for these programs ?
2) No addresses need to be passed to subprograms and the subprograms can refer to the PCBs by the name ? Again in such cases, will the PCB retain the last position left by main program ?

Again my understanding is YES to all questions above..

From the manuals:

When you use the AIBTDLI interface, you specify the PCB requested for the call by placing the PCB name (as defined by PSBGEN) in the resource name field of the AIB. You do not specify the PCB address. Because the AIB contains the PCB name, your application can refer to the PCB name rather than the PCB address. Your application does not need to know the relative PCB position in the PCB list. At completion of the call, the AIB returns the PCB address that corresponds to the PCB name passed by the application.

The names of DB PCBs and alternate PCBs are defined by the user during PSBGEN. All I/O PCBs are generated with the PCB name IOPCBbbb. For a generated program specification block (GPSB), the I/O PCB is generated with the PCB name IOPCBbbb, and the modifiable alternate PCB is generated with the PCB name TPPCB1b.

Thanks Anuj..I have tried to look at those pages before posing the question...

I assume you agree that DLITCBL will not be required.
Unable to conclude on my query 2..I guess you are saying the address of the segment last read will be retained in by second GN call with same PCBname ?

The problem is I have not seen any examples of AIBTDLI usage and hence some confusion..

To quote the purpose - We are trying to use AIBTDLI to avoid PCB addresses being passed to different subprograms..

sairamr,

Here is a sample to get you started. This is from "I-forgot-how-to-code-Ims-DB-programs-repository". so use it with caution.

Code:

01 AIB-CNTL-BLOCK.                                             
   05 AIBRID             PIC x(8).                             
   05 AIBRLEN            PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBRSFUNC          PIC x(8).                             
   05 AIBRSNM1           PIC x(8).                             
   05 AIBRSNM2           PIC x(8).                             
   05 AIBRESV1           PIC x(8).                             
   05 AIBOALEN           PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBOAUSE           PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBRESV2           PIC x(12).                           
   05 AIBRETRN           PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBREASN           PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBERRXT           PIC 9(9) USAGE BINARY.               
   05 AIBRESA1           USAGE POINTER.                       
   05 AIBRESA2           USAGE POINTER.

   05 FUNC-GN            PIC X(04) VALUE 'GN  '.                       
   05 FUNC-CHNG          PIC X(04) VALUE 'CHNG'.                     
   05 FUNC-ISRT          PIC X(04) VALUE 'ISRT'.                     
   05 FUNC-PURG          PIC X(04) VALUE 'PURG'.                     
   05 FUNC-INQY          PIC X(4)  VALUE 'INQY'.

PROCEDURE DIVISION.
                                                                     
       MOVE DFSAIB          TO AIBID.                                 
       MOVE YOUR-PSB-NAME   TO AIBRSNM1.                             
       MOVE 264             TO AIBLEN.                               
       
       CALL  'AIBTDLI' USING FUNC-GN AIB-CNTL-BLOCK IMS-IO-AREA.                                                               
       
       IF AIBRETRN =  ZEROES

Yes its been a while since the last post came in ..but only now I got some time to try things..

I have tried both the below with sample programs and the answer is YES to all
1) ENTRY DLITCBL is not needed for these programs ?
2) No addresses need to be passed to subprograms and the subprograms can refer to the PCBs by the name ? Again in such cases, will the PCB retain the last position left by main program ?

Thank you so much Kolusu..the code snippets definitely helped
