The ILDS keyword is valid with the BUILD, RELOAD, REORG (FAST REORG FACILITY/EP), and GROUP commands.
This keyword is used to specify the action taken on HALDB Indirect List Data Sets (ILDS). It is available in PLUSIN; it is not available as a global option. Table 1 and Table 2 describe the keyword as it relates to each command.
Table 1. ILDS keyword and the BUILD command
| To do this | Specify this in PLUSIN |
|---|---|
| Build the ILDS and secondary indexes. | ILDS(YES) |
| Build only the ILDS. | ILDS(ONLY) |
| Do not build the IDLS when building the secondary indexes. | ILDS(NO) |
| Internal default: NO | |
Note
When ILDS(YES) is specified, the ILDS is not populated with records for segments which are secondary index targets. The following conditions apply to specifying ILDS(Yes) for the build command:
-
If a database has no logical relationships, the ILDS will be empty and initialized.
-
If there are logical relationships, the ILDS will contain only entries for the logically related segments.
Table 2. ILDS keyword and the RELOAD and REORG commands
| To do this | Specify this in PLUSIN |
|---|---|
| ILDS(INIT) |
| ILDS(BUILD) |
| Automatically determine if ILDS(INIT) or ILDS(BUILD) is the best option. For information about how the ILDS(AUTO) value is determined, see Reload and Reorg functions. | ILDS(AUTO) |
| Internal Default: AUTO |
