From the tree view or the segment information window, double-click the segment type for which you want to define an SSA.
Do one of the following:
To define an unqualified SSA
Select
Unqualified SSA for
segment-type, where
segment-type is the selected segment type.
If the segment does not have a unique key defined, select a code other than
Null from the
Command Code drop-down list.
To define a qualified SSA
Select
Qualified SSA; then click
Define.
If the segment does not have a unique key defined, select a code other than
Null from the
Command Code drop-down list.
Use the fields and controls in the
Define qualifier section to build a list of qualifications on the
Qualification list. See
Qualifications for segment dialog box for a description of each field and control.
Note: If you are using Boolean operators, the last qualification statement on the
Qualification list must be blank.
Click
OK.
Click
OK.
Note:
The IMS Database Editor supports SSAs for up to 10 databases.
The IMS Database Editor does not support command codes for segments with unique keys defined. Therefore, for such segments, command codes are disabled.
