Read IMS DL/I Segments

Open a PSB from the IMS-DLI Browse page to view and read its segments.

Prepare a read

• Set each segment’s minimum and maximum byte bounds. Use Set placeholder bounds for missing or zero values.
• Add SSA predicates by field/value or offset/length. Use =, !=, <, >, <=, >= or their EQ, NE, LT, GT, LE, and GE aliases; combine clauses with AND or OR.
• Set Limit, Skip, and the read timeout.

Select Execute to run the OLIMDBR batch reader under your credentials. Results appear in tabs by segment. Associate a copybook to decode bytes into fields, approve or reject the active segment, or export its rows as CSV.
