1 Running The SDINIT Program

Overview

This chapter describes the SDINIT program and guides you, step by step, through both the initialization

and reinitialization procedures.

SDINIT's Files

The following ﬁles are used by the SDINIT program:

SDPASS is a permanent file created by SDINIT which contains initialization/reinitialization informa-

tion in an internal format. If a file already exists with this name, SDINIT will ask for per-

mission to overwrite the file. If the response is NO, SDINIT will terminate. SDPASS is

deleted when SDINIT successfully completes.

SDSTREAM is a permanent file used when either initializing or reinitializing the dictionary. It is the job

stream which is submitted to do the actual initialization or reinitialization. If the file exists,

SDINIT will ask permission to overwrite it. If the response is NO, SDINIT will terminate.

SDSTREAM is deleted if the job is automatically streamed.

SDSTORE is a permanent file used to store core set definitions and is included in the System Dictionary

installation tape. This file must exist on disc before SDINIT is run. SDSTORE normally re-

sides in PUB.SYS, and may be redirected by a file equation.

SDRSTORE is a permanent file used when reinitializing the dictionary. It is used if you want to change

the dictionary capacities and store the original dictionary contents on disc. During reinitial-

ization, if SDRSTORE already exists, SDINIT will ask if it is all right to overwrite the file. If

the response is NO, SDINIT will terminate. SDRSTORE is deleted when SDINIT successful-

ly completes.

SDTEMP1 isapermanentfileusedwheneitherinitializingorreinitializingthedictionary,andchanging

dictionary capacities. If the file exists, SDINIT will ask for permission to overwrite it. If the

response is NO, SDINIT will terminate. SDTEMP1 is deleted when SDINIT successfully com-

pletes.

SDTEMP2 is a permanent file used when reinitializing the dictionary and changing only the password.

Like SDTEMP1, if this file exists, SDINIT will ask for permission to overwrite it. If the re-

sponse is NO, SDINIT will terminate. SDTEMP2 is deleted when SDINIT successfully com-

pletes.

Job Control Word (JCW)

The Job Control Word (JCW) is a system parameter which indicates the termination condition of the

SDINIT program. Upon exiting from SDINIT, the JCW will be set to one of two values:

0 Program terminated normally

32768 Program terminated abnormally (FATAL JCW value)

The JCW allows the batch mode user to test for the termination condition and act accordingly. Information
