The output of execution is not as expected. The output of this extract program is empty though it is not possible under any circumstances. The joblog shows following messages:
Another IMS DB job that excuted successfully displays following messages in joblog(See below). The difference is remarkable. All intialiazation messages starting with BMS are missing all together in my log. The return code is zero. Can anyone tell me the potential problem and solution. I am also getting a IMS RTM CLEAN UP message.

I am not using any utility, I am simply using a COBOL program to read IMS DB and then extract selected records to a flat file. Both the joblogs are from my shop. The only difference is that the successful job shows BMC messages and my unsuccessful job does not fetch anything and does not display BMC messages. _________________ Gore

Gore,
After some digging I found that the BMC messages you are seeing are a part of DATA PACKER/IMS which helps maximize your hardware investment, reduce time requirements for database maintenance, and improve application performance. By offering multiple compression options, DATA PACKER/IMS allows you to select the best compression method for your unique data. DATA PACKER/IMS provides both storage and performance benefits, achieving greater data compression and maintaining data integrity.
DPKTABLE is a tables data set which is required if your input database to the DPIDASD utility is compressed by DATA PACKER/IMS Version 1.3 using the exit DPKNCD.

Thanks Kolusu!! I located the problem through xpeditor. When my program does not execute any IMS calls during run time i do not get those BMC messages, the logic was such that a parameter caused all the IMS calls to bypass.
Tha datapacker stuff was really useful. _________________ Gore
