SAS/ACCESS Interface to IMS-DL/I Software

Introduction

The SAS/ACCESS interface to IMS-DL/I can access databases through a DLI or DBB batch region, and an IMS/ESA DB/DC BMP region.(footnote 1) Introducing the IMS-DL/I DATA Step Interface describes DATA step programming statements and DL/I statements that are available with the IMS-DL/I DATA step interface. This chapter describes Fast Path DL/I database access and non-database access calls.

FOOTNOTE 1: Beginning with Version 6, the SLI region type is not supported; SLI functionality is supported through BMP regions. Databases that are allocated to CICS control regions can be accessed by SAS applications through a BMP region by using the DBCTL facility of IMS/ESA and CICS/ESA.
