SUMMARY OF VERBS

ADD accumulation of fields either binary, packed, display.
CALL transfer control to user-written module passing fields.
COMPARE tests for record differences and highlights changes.
COMPRESS squeeze duplicate characters of a record to save space.
COMPSRC request a source code compare.
CVTBIN converts packed or display numeric field to binary.
CVTCHAR converts packed or binary field to character display.
CVTDEC converts binary or display numeric fields to packed.
DECODE restores encrypted data.
DECOMPRESS to unsqueeze a compressed file.
DEFAREA allocates memory scratch pads for record building or field work space.
DEFINES assigns names to WORKAREA and file variables to aid process.
DELETE allows an input record to be marked as deleted which will prevent further processing of that record.
DIVIDE provides numeric computational divide functions.
DLILINK creates linkage for DLI processing.
DUMP same as DUMPV.
DUMPH dumps a record in horizontal hex format (similar to core dumps).
DUMPV dumps a record in vertical hex format.
DYNALLOC dynamic allocation of file datasets. Allows variable file names to be created.
DYNCLOSE closes a dynamic file.
DYNOPEN opens a dynamic file.
EDIT moves data into smaller or larger fields with shift.
ENCODE provides encryption processing.
ENTRY allows for DLI processor control.
EXHIBIT displays fields.
GOTO allows branching to tags defined by user and EOJ stop routine.
IF provides for conditional processing based on data tests and file indicators.
IFX same as IF except does not do numeric conversions.
LOADSRC loads source code and compares.
MASKAND mask bit test to "AND" the bits.
MASKOR mask bit test to "OR" the bits.
MOVE allows an input file to be modified for processing.
MOVEN converts automatically numeric fields to receiving format.
MOVEX same as MOVE except limited within the record bounds.
MULTIPLY provides computational multiply functions.
PACK moves a display numeric field into a packed field.
PERFORM to perform a Workbench(tm) subroutine.
PRINT prints a record in character format.
READ allows an input file to be defined and one record read.
READLIB define and read a Librarian (tm) member group.
READPAN define and read a Panvalet (tm) member group.
READPDS allows PDS member processing in groups as requested.
RESTART repositions file at the first record for multiple pass processing.
RETURN to exit a performed return.
SCAN searches record for any occurrence of a given data value.
SCANSTEP searches record for a given value and sets a location pointer (starts at current position pointer +1).
SCANTEST searches for a given value and sets a location pointer (always starts at position 1).
SPELL spell checking with 50,000 word dictionary.
STRING to combine several fields into a single field.
SUBTRACT subtraction of fields either binary, packed, display or any combination.
SYNC special read matches keys of multiple files.
UNPACK moves packed field into a display format field.
UNSTRING to separate a character string into individual fields.
WRITE allows an output to be defined and one record written.
WRITEPDS allows PDS member record to be written.
XREF releases a record to the cross reference report.
XREFDSN cross reference facility for data set names.

SUMMARY OF DB2 VERBS

DB2-CONNECT requests attach of DB2 environment.
DB2-DISCONNECT requests release of DB2 resources.
EXEC SQL SQL statement request.

SUMMARY OF IDMS VERBS

ACCEPT to access statistics information.
BIND to declare resource usage.
COMMIT to commit updates and release locks.
ERASE to delete a record.
FIND to locate but not receive record data elements.
FINISH to release and terminate IDMS resources.
GET to transfer data elements located with the FIND verb.
IDMS-CONNECT to physically relate a detail record with its parent set.
IDMS-DISCONNECT to disconnect a record from a set.
IDMS-IF will test existence of detail records in a set.
IDMS-RETURN returns dbkey information.
KEEP places a record lock on data retrieved.
MODIFY updates a given record.
OBTAIN locates and transfer record data elements to the program.
READY declares record and area usage.
ROLLBACK backs off any updates to the last commit point.
STORE inserts a new record to the database.
