Hi,
Using either VSAM or DB2 purely based on one's application's needs. Even though the basic representation in DB2 is in VSAM!

Hi,
It is much easier to write ad hoc SQL against DB2 tables than it is to code programs that access VSAM files.Now-a-days,people converting from vsam to db2.The predominant reason is to ease data access. |

agree with radhakrishnan82,....
Though its purely a decision of programmer depending on needs, DB2 is preferable over VSAM.
Using SPUFI feature you can easily access info'n from DB2.

Priyesh. |
