DL/I test program (DFSDDLT0) reference
DFSDDLT0 is an IMS application program test tool that issues calls to IMS based on control statement information. You can use it to verify and debug DL/I calls independently of application programs. You can run DFSDDLT0 using any PSB, including those that use an IMS-supported language. You can also use DFSDDLT0 as a general-purpose database utility program.
