This documentation describes the powerful and flexible set of Adabas direct call commands for performing database operations. These call commands provide a direct interface to the Adabas database when Natural or another fourth-generation database language is not being used.
Note:
Dataset names starting with DD are referred to in Adabas documentation
with a slash separating the DD from the remainder of the dataset name to
accommodate VSE/ESA dataset names that do not contain the DD prefix. The slash
is not part of the dataset name.
The Adabas Command Reference documentation is organized in the following parts:
