IMS Data Definition utility (DFS3ID00) DL/I batch enhancement

In IMS 15.4, the IMS Data Definition utility (DFS3ID00) has been enhanced to allow it to be run in a DL/I batch region.

Data Definition Language (DDL) SQL statements can be submitted with IMS Connect and ODBM address spaces. The DFS3ID00 utility performs this same task natively and writes the metadata for your application programs (PSBs) and databases definitions to the IMS catalog records and the runtime blocks to the staging directory data set.

In addition to allowing the utility to run in DL/I batch regions, this enhancement adds new ACTIVATE control options used to activate target runtime blocks while IMS is down.

This enhancement is delivered with APAR PH51761/PTF UI91330 and enabled by IMS 15.4.
