Invoking DCMT from user programs

Dear all,

I am trying to produce a COBOL batch program that calls RHDCMT00. I know this issue has been discussed more than one here, but I couldn't find the answers that I need... Any help will be appreciated!

I use a standard COBOL DC-BATCH program. Does the program have to be an IDMS progam (let alone a DC program) in the first place?
In my program I simply call RHDCMT00 using two workrecords as decribed in the manual. My call results in a 0C6 abend, reason code 6. I have tried every combination of RMODE/AMODE (currently 31/ANY), tried to make the call NODYNAMIC, put my program in a APF-authorized library: nothing works. I keep getting these 0C6 abends.

Any clues?

Thanks in advance!

Martin,

You have to use the UCFBATCH program to execute DCMT (or RHDCMT00)
from a batch job. You can get fancier, but why ?

I would suggest you create a file where you put all your DCMT commands
and pass that file to a subsequent step in your job, which would be
running UCFBATCH.

It should be simple, unless you have something else in mind or need
something special.

Martin,
I am working on the same thing. But I have an assembler program that calls RHDCMT00. It works fine to issue a 'DCMT D STAT AREA' command. I'll give it to you if you want it. Are you going to link this into Exit 13 in RHDCUXIT by any chance? I sure am having problems with that.

well, not quite - you CAN link to RDCMT00 you should NOTuse the keyword
"DCMT" in the input line - just the comand itself. That has caued many
(including me) problems in the past.

just a suggestion

I don't think you can call RHDCMT00 from batch programs.

The System Tasks and Operator Commands manual says you should use the #LINK
macro to invoke RHDCMT00.

This is an online DML statement, DC-BATCH programs can only perform a
subset of the online DML statements,
i.e. queue processing.
