Hi,

I have a requirement where my online program should read a flat file. I know its not possible to access flat files thru online. So, I was thinking to make it a batch program.

But again this process should be initiaed by online Trans Id. Is there any way that I kick-off batch job thru online Transaction?

Thanks
Amith

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

Accessing online file in online mode is similar to that of VSAM file (KSDS)?

Thanks
