   C I C S E D L 1  -  Platform: MVS/CICS


   This program is a editor of DL/1 hierarchical databases: thru PSB
defined in CICS, you can browse occurrences of every segment and see
its structure; you can update, delete, insert, find, etc.


   In this distribution file (CICSEDL1.ZIP) there is:

CICSEDL1.OBJ             executable for MVS/CICS mainframe, in obj form
CICSEDL1.HIL             Hilmas source of this program
CXITEDL1.OBJ             same executable in Italian, in obj form
CXITEDL1.HIL             Hilmas source in Italian
README.TXT               this help file 
LINKEDIT.JCL             job example to install CICSEDL1
MAN_ITA.TXT              manual in Italian
MAN_ITA.DOC              Italian manual in Word 6.0/95 (RTF) format
(manual in English available only on request)


OBJ installation:

- Create in MVS a sequential file, for example 'MYUSER.PROGRAM.OBJ'
  with RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, for example of 1 cylinder.

- SEND obj module from PC to MVS in this file in BINARY form, with your 
  3270 emulation; the most important thing is a binary transfer (therefore 
  without ASCII CRLF) in a file with record length of 80 bytes.
  Use this PC command (in a PC with IBM/PCOMM 4.1 3270 emulation installed):

     SEND CICSEDL1.OBJ 'MYUSER.PROGRAM.OBJ'

- Prepare a Job to Linkedit transferred obj in a load library visible by
  CICS: use LINKEDIT.JCL as example: fit this JCL to your needs changing 
  library names

- Submit linkedit job to create load module; output library must be a
  load library used by CICS address space.

- Complete installation defining program and transid in PPT and PCT CICS
  tables: the only important thing is to define an Assembler program in
  PPT; see manual for details.


Program instruction:

   Run the program writing in a CICS session:

       EDL1  PSBname

   where PSBname is a PSB defined in CICS: you will see a database
   sequential browse of all the segments defined in the selected PSB;
   you can use this program as a 'special' editor to view, change, copy,
   search, etc. all the segments of the database.
   Use PF1 help to see all the commands available.
