Specifying field sensitivity

You can use the IMS PCB editor to define which fields an application program is sensitive to in the database program communication block (PCB) for the hierarchy that contains those fields. An IMS application program can access only data to which it is sensitive. Field sensitivity can prevent an application program from accessing all the fields in a particular hierarchy. The sensitivity tells IMS which fields in a hierarchy the program is allowed to access.

Before you begin

Open the PSB summary page on the PSB that contains the full-function or Fast Path database PCB.
