Developing test databases

Before the application programs accessing your database are transferred to production status, they must be tested. To avoid damaging a production database, you need a test database.

IBM® provides various programs that can help you develop your test database, including the DL/I Test Program (DFSDDLT0). For more information on the available IMS™ tools, go to www.ibm.com/ims and link to the IBM® DB2® and IMS Tools website.
