Overview
The File Manager® IMS editor allows you to edit IMS segments as logical records, in an unformatted or formatted state.
A template provides a logical view of an IMS database, based upon the IMS database definition (DBD) and the field definitions in a copybook (COBOL, PL/I, or HLASM) for each IMS segment. Templates allow users to:
- Format IMS segments according to record structures defined in copybooks
- Select the fields and records that you want to work with, adjust how fields are displayed
- Set record identification and selection criteria within File Manager® IMS
- Work with IMS segments containing multiple record structures
Using File Manager® editor, you can edit IMS databases.
