The Update Process

You use an update process to perform file update functions. For example, you may define an update process to update a master file with transactions that have accumulated since the last update occurred. An update process still has only a single PCF (in this example, the transaction file), although it can also update records in the master file using statements in an ILF routine. An update process can produce a log file of all informational and error messages generated during the course of processing.

Refer to Chapter 3-8: Update Processes for detailed specifications on defining these processes.
