Description

Enables date/time stamp processing when set to 1. A system manager can reset DTS to zero to disable automatic date/time stamps. Turning off the date/time stamp feature does not imply that you cannot update any field, including the date/time stamp field; it simply stops automatic updates to the date/time stamp field.

Value Behavior
1 For date/time stamp files, transactions participate in DTS updating. The date/time stamp field of an updated record is automatically updated at the beginning of COMMIT processing.

This is the default setting for the parameter.

0 Transactions do not participate in DTS updating. When a transaction does not participate in DTS processing, the date/time stamp field will not be updated on records that are themselves updated.

The DTS parameter may be reset only by a user with system manager privileges. In addition, the user must have file manager privileges for any DTS-enabled (FOPT X'10') files opened, either before or after DTS is reset to 0. Turning off the DTS parameter affects updates only to date/time stamp files, so no special restrictions were placed on the file with no date/time stamp.

Note: During FLOD/FILELOAD, the DTS field, if one is defined to the file, is not updated. This means that a new DTS field defined as part of a file reorganization will not have a value calculated during the reorganization. Existing DTS fields are only added from TAPEI input, and they are not automatically updated by the DTS feature.
