Hi,

I want to use same vsam ksds file for batch as well as cics processes. This file will actaully keep a seq no which will be updated by every process. So we need to maintain the data integrity also.

could you please help me to implement this logic.

Regards
Rashmi

hy rashmi.ranjan75,

as long your vsam ksds is open in cics,
you cannot access it at the same time in batch.
stop online first, or close the file in cics...
i supposed you have a fct entry defined for this file...

HI,
It is possible to use a KSDS for both Batch and Online.But KSDS file cannot be accessed in Batch when the file is opened in CICS region.So make sure that the file is closed in CICS region before you update the same file using Batch process.

Thanks & Regards

try coding your batch program as a cics program. IE. Try using call a program that is a cics program in which you can access the files.
