CURRENCY
set-name
is a set name which is available in the program’s subschema.
You can prevent currency indicator updates for REALM, RECORD, or SET.
Specifying REALM retains all realm currency indicators; specifying RECORD
retains all record currency indicators.
If SET is used without the set-name list option, the Database Control System
(DBCS) retains the currency indicators for all sets in the subschema. If you
specify the set-name list option, only the currency indicators for the specified
sets are retained. The same set-name cannot be listed more than once in a given
set-name list.
If you specify the RETAINING clause and do not select an option, the DBCS
retains all REALM, RECORD, and SET currency indicators.
