Adapting DML statements

DML statements that use a database key value provide an indication of where adaptations to database key values of the extended value range (REC-REF > 254 and/or RSQ > 2²⁴-1) may be required in the application program.

The following COBOL DML statements use a database key value:

• ACCEPT

• FIND (format 1) or FETCH (format 1)

• FIND (format 7) or FETCH (format 7)

• MODIFY

• SET

• STORE

The following CALL DML statements use a database key value:

• ACCEPTC

• FIND1 or FTCH1

• STORE1 or STORE2

DML statements are described in detail in the “Application Programming” manual.
