Bookmark list file
When you create a bookmark, the IMS Database Editor stores the name, segment occurrence, and a description in a bookmark list. Between editing sessions, the bookmark list is automatically stored in a bookmark file in the folder containing the database you are editing. The bookmark file name has a
.bmf extension, and the prefix depends on the type of database:
| Type of Database
|
Bookmark List Filename
|
| Physical database
|
The name of the DBD
|
| Logical database
|
The name of the PSB immediately followed by
n, where
n is the PCB number
