Preparing Datacom Datadictionary Definitions for Conversion

Learn how to prepare the Datacom Datadictionary for conversion.
After creating the
Datacom/DB
DATABASE structures for the destination tables to receive converted data, complete the following procedure:
  1. Set the default values, verify the DATABASE structure, and copy the entire DATABASE structure to production (PROD) status.
  2. Catalog the DATABASE structure in PROD status to the
    Datacom/DB
    Directory (CXX).
  3. Run a Directory (CXX) Report to use as a reference when defining
    DBVUFIL
    and
    DBVXFIL
    macros for the Batch and Online VSAM Interface Tables and when defining the
    DBMDTHDR
    macros for the associated Multiple
    Datacom/DB
    Table, if applicable. For details about running this report, see the Reporting Facility topic.
