Q 1 - What does DLI stands for?
Answer : A
Explanation
DLI stands for Data Language Interface.
Q 2 - What does DBDGEN stands for?
A - Database Descriptor Generator
B - Data Description Generator
Answer : A
Explanation
DBDGEN stands for Database Descriptor Generator.
Q 3 - What does DLITCBL stands for?
Answer : A
Explanation
DLITCBL stands for DL/I to COBOL. The entry statement is used to define the entry point in the program.
Q 4 - In PCB which field is used to store the level of the segment that was processed?
Answer : A
Explanation
Segment level is known as Segment Hierarchy Level Indicator. It contains character data and is two bytes long. A segment level field stores the level of the segment that was processed. When a segment is retrieved successfully, the level number of the retrieved segment is stored here.
Answer : A
Explanation
SSA stands for Segment Search Arguments.
Answer : D
Explanation
To use command codes, specify an asterisk in the 9th position of the SSA and for Last Occurrence we code L at 10th position.
Answer : C
Explanation
To use command codes, specify an asterisk in the 9th position of the SSA and for Enqueue Segment we code Q at 10th position.
Q 8 - When we issue a GU or GN call, the DL/I establishes its parentage at the lowest level segment that is retrieved. If we include a P command code, then the DL/I establishes its parentage at a higher level segment in the hierarchical path. State whether true or false?
Answer : B
Explanation
This is self explanatory.
Q 9 - Logical twins are the occurrences of a logical child segment type that are all subordinate to a single occurrence of the logical parent segment type. State whether true or false?
Answer : B
Explanation
This is self explanatory.
Answer : A
Explanation
One DBD is generated for a single database.
