READY [EXCLUSIVE] UPDATE
The READY UPDATE statement sends a READY DML to the DBH which starts the current transaction of the UDS online utility.
The name of the realm which is to be processed must have been specified before execution with the SET-RELOCATE-PARAMETERS statement (see section “Defining the properties of a RELOCATE DML (SET-RELOCATE-PARAMETERS)”). Initialization of a string of relocation transactions is based on the INITIALIZE parameter.
The EXCLUSIVE entry is not permitted for RELOCATE types other than RELOCATE-TYPE=*INDEX-LEVEL-TABLE-PAGES and is rejected with the following error message:
USAGE MODE EXCLUSIVE OR PROTECTED NOT ALLOWED.
Specification of the UPDATE parameter is mandatory in the case of a relocation transaction. The DML returns a status code which is available in the predefined variable RCODE (see section “Predefined variables”).
