PSB schedule command and call

The format of the schedule command is:

EXEC DLI SCHD PSB(name)[SYSSERVE]

Specifying SYSSERVE does not affect the PCB number you specify in the USING PCB keyword because PCB(1) will always refer to the first DB PCB. The application program must establish addressability to the I/O PCB. For details, see Application programming design in IMS product documentation.

The format of the schedule call is:

CALL 'CBLTDLI' USING PCB␢,psbname,uibptr[,sysserve]

where sysserve is an optional 8-byte variable, set to either IOPCB or NOIOPCB.

Almost all the new DL/I calls supported in the CICS-DBCTL environment require an I/O PCB. The two exceptions are the ROLS call, which can use a DB PCB, and the POS call, which uses a DEDB PCB.
