Task F: Select IMS SegmentsAfter you select an IMS database, you must select segments from it. To do this, you must determine the access path required to retrieve the data you need. Refer to Effects of Segment Selection for more information.The root segment is automatically included in the access path and already appears in the Segment Name field on the IMS Table Definition screen with a level of 0. Additional segments that you select must be along one access path (that is, you can choose only one segment from each level, as long as you also choose its parent).
1. Position the cursor beside the root segment name and press PF6 to display existing child segments.
2. Select one segment from the list of child segments by typing an S beside it and pressing Enter.A screen similar to the one shown below appears with the selected child segment listed under the parent segment.
3. Repeat this process until you select all the segments that you require along the desired access path.
