| SAS/ACCESS Interface to IMS-DL/I Software |
This book uses two
HDAM IMS-DL/I databases, the ACCTDBD database and the WIRETRN database, to
show you how to use the SAS/ACCESS interface
to IMS-DL/I. These databases were created for a bank, and they contain data
about the bank's customers and their checking and savings account transactions.
The seven ACCTDBD database segments are named CUSTOMER, CHCKACCT, CHCKDEBT,
CHCKCRDT, SAVEACCT, SAVEDEBT, and SAVECRDT. The WIRETRN database has one
segment, WIRETRAN, and includes only data pertaining to wire transfers of
money. All the data in the book are fictitious.
The book also uses one HIDAM database, EMPLINF2, in
the examples.
Note: These databases are designed to
show how the interface treats IMS-DL/I data. They are not meant as an example
for you to follow in designing databases for any purpose. ![[cautionend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
Appendix 2 gives more information about the ACCTDBD
database and the data it contains. Appendix 2 also includes definitions of
all the view descriptors referenced in this book and all the SAS data files
and statements used to create them. Defining SAS/ACCESS Descriptor Files
provides information about the WIRETRN database and definitions of the view
descriptors used in the examples.

| Running the Examples in This Book |
To run the
examples based on the ACCTDBD and WIRETRN databases, you must first load the
database files and define the access and view descriptors shown in Appendix
2. Use the sample library files described here.
-
IMSLD
- Contains the source programs for loading
the ACCTDBD, EMPLINF2, and WIRETRN database files for both the engine interface
and DATA step. It includes the JCL used to allocate the IMS-DL/I databases,
to create DBDs and PSBs, and to create needed flat files.
-
IMSEX
- Contains the example SAS programs that use
the engine interface, as shown in Using IMS-DL/I Data in SAS Programs
and Browsing and Updating IMS-DL/I Data.
-
IMSDS
- Contains the example SAS programs that use
the DATA step interface, as shown in Introducing the IMS-DL/I DATA Step Interface
and Using the SAS/ACCESS Interface to IMS-DL/I DATA Step Interface.
