I think this is a problem for all NOMAD users. But, instead of this, you
use trans; untrans; to quote the da statement as da is a directive in
NOMAD. And you must also trans and untrans all programs being called as
any item reference to the database will be un-resolved. Then use FILESTAT
to test the sit2 existence and link the disk if required before activate
the DA statment. There is no support in OTW in DA.

Subject: Database does not exist

I am using NOMAD version 6.00 on VM/CMS.

If I run a procedure containing the command:
         DA FRED;

and database FRED does not exist, my procedure crashes with the
error message: DAT0079: Database FRED SIT2 not found.

This is not very friendly to the user. I would like to do something
like:
        DA FRED OTW DO;
                       SYS EXEC ICLINK ABC123;
                       DA FRED;
                    END;

but this does not work since Nomad expects a semicolon after DA FRED;

     I could call a REXX exec prior to the DA call, and check if the user
is linked to the required disk, but I'd prefer not to do this.

     Anyone got any ideas how to insert a trap to do what I want?
