Generating the DBD

MFDEMO includes one DBD file (demo03dd.dbd) that you need to generate. To generate the DBD:

Enter the following command, depending on your platform:

Windows:

mfims dbdgen demo03dd.dbd nocls echo(enderr,0,50)

UNIX:

mfims dbdgen DEMO03DD.DBD nocls echo"enderr,0,50"

Creating the DBD gens produces the following files:

dbdgen2.dat
dbdgen2f.dat

Note: If dbdgen2.dat does not exist when you generate a DBD you see message DBDUT0U35U ("File not found DBDGEN2.DAT"). This message is for information only, and dbdgen2.dat is created.

These files contain DBD source information that has been extracted and formatted into a smaller structure optimized for faster access during execution. These files are indexed files and can contain information for one or more generated DBD members. Do not edit, move or delete these files.
