SAS/ACCESS Interface to IMS-DL/I Software

SAS System Options for IMS-DL/I

Since Version 6, the first three letters of all SAS system options for IMS-DL/I are IMS. If the option applies only to certain region types, the next two letters indicate the region type: DL for DLI or DBB and BP for BMP. Some options such as IMSSPIE apply to more than one region type. These options do not include one of the region-type codes.

Most of the SAS system options for IMS-DL/I parallel the functions of DL/I parameters. For example, the option IMSBPAGN= specifies a value for the AGN parameter, which is used in BMP regions. If you need more information about IMS-DL/I parameters, refer to your IBM documentation.

Note:    For the DATA step interface, the SLI region type--and hence, the SLICWTO, SLIREAD, and CICSID options--are no longer supported. Sites that use CICS as opposed to IMS/DC can gain access to CICS dedicated databases by using the IMS-ESA or CICS-ESA DBCTL feature. This feature enables an application like SAS software to access the databases through a BMP region.  [cautionend]
