You can bookmark a segment occurrence so that you can return to it later during the current editing session or during a later
editing session.
Note: Bookmarks can be applied only to segment occurrences that have a unique concatenated key.
Bookmark list file
When you create a bookmark, the IMS Database Editor stores the name, segment occurrence, and a description in a bookmark list.
Between editing sessions, the bookmark list is automatically stored in a bookmark file in the folder containing the database
you are editing. The bookmark file name has a
.bmf extension, and the prefix depends on the type of database:
| Type of Database

The name of the DBD

| Logical database

The name of the PSB immediately followed by
n, where
