Hi,

Does anyone know how to modify the SHAREOPTIONS of an already existing VSAM file? I tried this, but did not work.

//SYSIN DD *
ALTER VPR.TEST.PR61.GROUP.CONTROL -
SHAREOPTIONS(3,3)
/*

Help is appreciated.

Hello,

I figured it out myself. In order to change SHAREOPTIONS, the entry type must be DATA component.

//SYSIN DD *
ALTER VPR.TEST.PR61.GROUP.CONTROL.DATA -
SHAREOPTIONS(3,3)
/*

Thanks
