What is the purpose of the Use Multiple DB variable?

0

This variable provides a way for Datasets to have multiple STORDATA VSAM databases for access. You must set it to Y on the TSFSET (UCBSCAN) panel during installation. Once set to Y, when you select the Datasets component of TSF, a prompt will be displayed asking which database you wish to use. If one has not been previously saved, select the default. Once in Datasets, type SAVEDB on the command line, along with a unique name to call this database. You will then be provided with a table to type a description for this database. While in Datasets, you can switch to another previously saved database by typing GETDB along with the saved database name. Alternatively, type GETDB and press enter to display a table with saved database names and then make a selection.
