I-QU PLUS-1 — Technical Information — I-QU PLUS-1

The utilities

QINDEX — Data Item Index File Program: builds a file containing data definitions of DMS 1100 database records, SFS/PCIOS data files, BIS RIDs, and RDMS 1100 relational tables.
QRYSCH — Query Schema Utility: easily display DMS 2200 area, record, and set information useful when developing reorganization routines.
SCHUTL — Schema Modification Utility: alter a copy of the schema/subschema absolutes to produce faster reloads, avoiding separate schema compiles.
PBLD / PFIX — Pointer Correction Utilities: replace set pointers, performing old-to-new record location correction.

Shorter database unload/reload times
In-place global pointer changes when expanding the number of allowed areas/pages
Pointer manipulation capability; ignore set linkages during reload
Save and restore pointers; cross-reference old record locations to new when correcting pointers
Significantly reduce production downtime
Always load database areas in page-number sequence — even CALC
Easily add new set relationships and new set pointers (owner / prior)
Isolate reorganizations by area for speed; built-in CALC simulator
Minimize impact of cross-area designs; easily patch broken links
Quick reorganizations regardless of hierarchical levels

Select from multiple date formats, including those used in date arithmetic
Use wildcard characters on IF statement comparisons
Control case sensitivity on IF statement comparisons
Command to shift characters to all upper or lower case
Trim insignificant leading and trailing spaces from data
Automatic detection of overflow on numeric edit masks
Built-in CSF command for dynamically assigning and freeing files
Useful date conversion commands; commands may be abbreviated for quick development
In-line and procedural DOs for highly structured code
Easily coded data and variable definitions

Any currently supported SBR or supported level of: ASCII COBOL, COMUS, ED, ELT, EXEC, MAP, MSAM, PCIOS, PLUS, SORT, SSG, SYSLIB, UCSRTS.
