workDBType

The workDBType build descriptor option specifies the type of work database to use at run time. You use this option if you have set the system build descriptor option to CICS® or IMSVS and if the workDBType build descriptor option is specified for the first program in the run unit.

If the system build descriptor option is set to ISERIESC, the work database is always SQL, regardless of the value of workDBType.

The work database is used to:

Values

AUX (the default value for CICS)
Save program status data in a CICS auxiliary temporary storage queue.
MAIN
Save program status data in a CICS main temporary storage queue.
DLI (the default value for IMS™)
Save program status data in a DL/I database.
SQL
Save program status data in a relational database.
