Syntax

:RUN PSQLCOB.PUB.SYS;INFO= "DBEnvironmentName [({ MODULE(ModuleName) OWNER (OwnerName) { DROP {PRESERVE} {REVOKE} NODROP }} |...| ]"

Parameters

DBEnvironmentName

identifies the DBEnvironment in which a module is to be stored. You may use a backreference to a file defined in a file equation for this parameter.

ModuleName

assigns a name to the stored module. Module names must follow the rules governing ALLBASE/SQL basic names as described in the ALLBASE/SQL Reference Manual . If a module name is not specified, the preprocessor uses the program name as the module name.

OwnerName

associates the stored module with a User@Account, a ClassName, or a GroupName. You can specify an owner name for the module only if you have DBA authority in the DBEnvironment where the module is to be stored. If not specified, the owner name is your logon User@Account. Any object names in SQLIN not qualified with an owner name are qualified with the OwnerName specified by the preprocessor.

DROP

deletes any module currently stored in the DBEnvironment by the ModuleName and OwnerName specified in the INFO string.

NODROP

terminates preprocessing if any module currently exists in the DBEnvironment by the ModuleName and OwnerName specified in the INFO string. If not specified, NODROP is assumed.

PRESERVE

is specified when the program being preprocessed already has a stored module and you want to preserve existing RUN authorities for that module. If not specified, PRESERVE is assumed. PRESERVE cannot be specified unless DROP is also specified.

REVOKE

is specified when the program being preprocessed already has a stored module and you want to revoke existing RUN authorities for that module. REVOKE cannot be specified unless DROP is also specified.

Description

  1. Before invoking the preprocessor in this mode when the program being preprocessed already has a stored module, ensure that the earlier version of the program is not being executed.

  2. The preprocessor starts a DBE session in the DBEnvironment named in the RUN command by issuing a CONNECT command. If the autostart flag is OFF, the DBE session can be initiated only after a START DBE command has been processed.

  3. If the DBEnvironment to be accessed is operating in single-user mode, preprocessing can occur only when another DBE session for the DBEnvironment does not exist.

  4. When the preprocessor's DBE session begins, ALLBASE/SQL processes a BEGIN WORK command. When preprocessing is completed, the preprocessor submits a COMMIT WORK command, and any sections created are committed to the system catalog. If the preprocessor detects an error in SQLIN, it processes a ROLLBACK WORK command before terminating, and no sections are stored in the DBEnvironment. Preprocessor warnings do not prevent sections from being stored.

  5. Since all preprocessor DBE sessions initiate only one transaction, any log file space used by the session is not available for re-use until after the session terminates. If rollforward logging is not in effect, you can issue the CHECKPOINT command in ISQL before preprocessing to increase the amount of available log space. Refer to the ALLBASE/SQL Database Administration Guide for additional information on log space management, such as using the START DBE NEWLOG command to increase the size of the log and recovering log space when rollforward logging is in effect.

  6. During preprocessing, system catalog pages accessed for embedded commands are locked. In multi-user mode, other DBE sessions accessing the same objects must wait, and the potential for a deadlock exists. Therefore minimize competing transactions when preprocessing an application program. Refer to the ALLBASE/SQL Database Administration Guide for information on operations that lock system catalog pages.

  7. For improved runtime performance, use ISQL to submit the UPDATE STATISTICS command before preprocessing for each table accessed in a data manipulation command when an index on that table has been added or dropped and when data in the table is often changed.

Authorization

To preprocess a program for the first time in this mode, you need CONNECT or DBA authority in the DBEnvironment the program accesses. After a stored module exists, you need module OWNER or DBA authority in the DBEnvironment.

Example

:FILE SQLIN=PASEX2

:RUN PSQLPAS.PUB.SYS;INFO=&

"PartsDBE (MODULE(PASEX2) OWNER(OwnerP@SomeAcct) REVOKE DROP)"
