Record layout in the CDBM GROUP command file

Each record in the DFHDBFK file may be up to 1428 characters long, as follows:

field length content description
1 12 Group a 12-character field containing your chosen name for this group. The acceptable characters are A-Z 0-9 $ @ and #. Leading or embedded blanks are not allowed, but trailing blanks are acceptable.
2 10 IMS™ Command a 10-character field containing any of the IMS command verbs that are valid for CDBM (see the CICS® IMS Database Control Guide for details). Leading or embedded blanks are not allowed, but trailing blanks are acceptable.
Note:
The validity of the IMS command verb is not checked by CDBM. Invalid values will be reported by IMS when the command is attempted.
3 1406 IMS Command parameters Up to 1406 characters of parameters appropriate to the chosen IMS command verb. (This will often consist of lists of databases.)
Note:
Wildcard characters may not be used in the parameters stored in the CDBM Group command file. This is unlike the other functions of the CDBM transaction which permit the use of wildcard characters to describe multiple similarly named databases.
