PLB_PREP87 Keyword

PLB_PREP87={ ON | OFF | value }

This control specifies whether a PREPARE instruction should create ISAM and AAM file using the version 8.7 format

When the PLB_PREP87 control is set to OFF, the PREPARE operation creates ISAM and AAM files using the version 9.0 format. When set to ON, the action of a PREPARE instruction is to create ISAM and AAM file using the version 8.7 format

When the {value} format is used, the following operations are implemented:

Value	Set the PLB_PREP87 state to
0	OFF.
>0	ON.
2	ON and there is no ISI data integrity checking.

This same ability to control the action of the PREPARE instruction can also be controlled using the *PREP87 GETMODE and SETMODE keyword.
