openFT is a subsystem and is not generated when the BS2000 system is generated.
The FT administrator commands can be issued from the console. Administration from the terminal requires the FT-ADMINISTRATION privilege, assigned by default to TSOS. If SECOS is in use, this privilege can be assigned to other user IDs. See the SECOS manual for details.
In order to ensure the usability of the COBOL program interface, the file SYSRTC.FT (runtime module for the COBOL program interface) must be shareable under the SYSFJAM ID (SHARE=YES, ACCESS=READ). COBOL programs produced with the COBOL interface load the runtime module from this ID.
The product PAMINT is used to convert from keyed to nonkey files (and vice versa). This product belongs to the BS2000 basic configuration and must be available under TSOS.
