Using PARM Values
PARM values are used in the following situations:
* When creating a job file from within the DBCPLUS program.
* When running the DBAPLUS program independently.
To restructure the database, the DBAPLUS program may need you to answer
four questions. In interactive mode, you can answer these questions if
and when they are asked. However, batch mode requires a run-time
parameter (PARM value) to provide answers to these questions in case they
are asked. Optionally, a parameter can also be used to keep the change
file.
PARM values can be determined by adding them together. For example, if
you want both PARM=1 and PARM=4 to take effect, add them together, then
specify PARM=5.
Table 9-1 describes the parameter values and which DBAPLUS questions they
answer.
