Overview

The table 50 contains a general decision framework indicating when adaptations to database key values of the extended value range are required for individual DML statements. This table only takes the functionality of DML statements into account; no distinction is made between COBOL DML and CALL DML statements.

DML statement	... must be adapted if:
ACCEPT FIND/FETCH-1	there are database key values with a REC-REF > 254 and/or RSQ > 224-1 for a record type used by the statement	_	_
STORE	_	the DDL entry of the used record type contains the clause LOCATION MODE IS DIRECT-LONG	_
STORE, MODIFY, FIND/FETCH-7 (without CURRENT)	_	the DDL entry of the owner record type contains the clause LOCATION MODE IS DIRECT-LONG	the DDL entry of the affected set in which the record type is “owner” contains the clause: SET SELECTION THRU LOC MODE OF OWNER
