The CONVERTDB function converts databases used in previous 2.2 releases from an ICF-Catalog format to a direct access file format. A BACKUP copy of the ICF-Catalog format is used as input (INDD) to the convertdb function and another backup copy is cre- ated (OUTDD) for use as input to the RESTORE function under the new release. If diag- nostic messages are desired, the DEBUG parameter can be specified. For detail messages about the conversion, specify the DETAIL parameter. If a MODEL account existed in the previous database format, and it will be used in the new format, then specify the COPY- MODEL parameter.

Note: The BACKUP function must first be executed using the previous 2.2 version of the DLMAINT program. Remaining steps will use the new version.

CONVERTDB INDD( ddname )

OUTDD( ddname )

DEBUG

DETAIL

COPYMODEL

INDD ( ddname )

Function: This is a required parameter. The INDD parameter specifies the name of a DD statement that specifies the backup version of the ICF-Catalog used as the DLimit database in a previous 2.2 release. Refer to the BACKUP statement for details on creating the input file.

Default: None

Format: INDD( ddname )

OUTDD ( ddname )

Function: This is a required parameter. The OUTDD parameter specifies the name of a DD statement which will be the target of the conversion. This DD statement must refer to a sequential dataset on DASD or tape. The dataset must be of sufficient size to hold all of the converted data.

Default: None

Format: OUTDD( ddname )

DEBUG

Function: This is an optional parameter. The DEBUG parameter indicates that diagnostic information is to be written to the SYSPRINT dataset.

Default: None

Format: DEBUG

DETAIL

Function: This is an optional parameter. The DETAIL parameter indicates that detailed messages pertaining to the conversion are to be written to the SYSPRINT dataset.

Default: None

Format: DETAIL

COPYMODEL

Function: This is an optional parameter. The COPYMODEL parameter specifies whether a MODEL account existing in the previous version will be copied to the new database.

Default: None

Format: COPYMODEL

Example The following example shows the use of the CONVERTDB statement to convert database formats.

//DLMAINT EXEC PGM=DLMAINT,REGION=4M

//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DTS.R71.LOADLIB

//OLDDS DD DSN=DTS.R71.DLSDB.BACKUP,DISP=SHR

//NEWDS DD DSN=DTS.R71.DLSDB.BACKUP,

// SPACE=(CYL,(50,5),RLSE),DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE)

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSABEND DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSIN DD *
