Specifies how duplicate root segments are to be processed.
Note: Supported by the Add
mfims imsdbu function.
Syntax:
>>-.----.--REPLACE------><
+-NO-+
Parameters:
None
Properties:
Default:
NOREPLACE
Comments:
When adding segments to a database, a root collision occurs when the key of a root segment in the input file already exists in the database. Specifying REPLACE causes the existing database root segment (and its children) to be deleted and the segments from the input file to be inserted. Specifying NOREPLACE causes the segments in the input file to be ignored and the existing database segments to be left as they were.
