Running SDUTIL in Batch Mode

SDUTIL may be r un in batch mode, via a job ﬁle. An example of a job ﬁle is shown below. In this example,

SDUTIL reads commands from an input ﬁle SDIN, which in the example has been redirected to the ﬁle

COMMANDS.

The PARM parameter is used to specify the action of the job if an error is encountered. In the example, the

program is aborted if 10 errors are found. Refer to the text earlier in this chapter for details on the various

run options.

Finally, the JCW job control word shows whether the system executed successfully or terminated

abnormally.

!JOB SDJOB,DICK/WRITER.SDUSER

!FILE SDIN = COMMANDS

!CONTINUE

!RUN SDUTIL.PUB.SYS;PARM=10

!IF JCW = FATAL THEN

! TELL DICK.SDUSER Fatal Dictionary Error

!ELSE

! TELL DICK.SDUSER Dictionary Job Completed

!ENDIF

!EOJ

Merging and Compiling

The two major functions of SDUTIL, merging dictionary data and compiling dictionaries, are discussed on

the following pages. Two other functions, purging a dictionary and renaming a compiled dictionary, are

explained in the descriptions for the commands PURGE and RENAME, in Chapter 3. Both major functions

of SDUTIL have a common requirement, that the source and target dictionaries be deﬁned. The commands

which deﬁne the dictionary environments are:

• FROM, which defines a master or compiled source dictionary.

• MERGE-TO, which defines a master target dictionary.

• COMPILE-TO, which defines a compiled target dictionary.

The fol lowing table provides information on the commands which are used in merging and compiling, and

the functions they perform.
