Can someone point me to documentation that explains the difference between BMP and BPP programs?

Reiner,

BPP? Never heard of it. Did you mean MPP (Message Processing Program)?

Thanks, Kolusu, for your quick response. I can see why you hadn't heard of it. Now that I've pasted the text in, I see that I meant DBB. Just wondering where it's explained in the IBM documentation.

Here's an example:

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=DFSRRC00,REGION=80M,TIME=30,
// PARM='DBB,EZTPA00,EASYMEMP,30,00'

DBB is a version of DLI so check out BMP and DLI in the IMS Application Programming Guides.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to any hardcopy manuals and am I new to IMS. Would you be able to give me a URL for on online manual that explains the various types of batch processing?

I found: IMS V9 Appl. Programming: DB
Document Number: SC18-7809-00
but I don't see any discussion there.

Thanks,
Reiner

Try the following for DL/I:

IMS Version 9: Application Programming: EXEC DLI Commands for CICS and IMS, SC18-7811

and for BMP:

IMS V9R1 Application Programming: Design Guide, SC18-7810-00

These are a good starting place.
