For details about the control statements, see Sections 7.3 through 7.12.
For a HiRDB/Single Server
Specify the file containing control statements for the database structure modification utility (pdmod) in an absolute path name.
For a HiRDB/Parallel Server
Specify the file containing control statements for the database structure modification utility (pdmod) in an absolute path name. The control statement file should be created for the server machine where the dictionary server is located.
You can specify multiple control statements, in which case pdmod processes each control statement to completion. If a control statement results in an error, pdmod skips that control statement and processes the next control statement. This means that once a control statement has terminated normally, it is not rolled back, even if an error occurs in a subsequent control statement. If an error occurs in pdmod, eliminate the cause of the error indicated in the message that is output to the standard error output and to the message log, and then re-execute only the control statement that resulted in the error.
To insert a comment in a control statement, precede the comment with a forward slash and an asterisk (/*) and follow the comment with an asterisk and a forward slash (*/).
If UTF-8 is selected as the character encoding in the pdntenv command, a BOM contained in the control statement file will not cause any problem. However, only ASCII codes can be used for comments in the control statement file. Do not use non-ASCII code characters, because use of non-ASCII code characters might cause pdmod to malfunction.
