sorry enrico, all you have shown me is jcl to build an index (aix), and you have dumped it via idcams.

your index contains the 'key' but, does not contain an RBA.

just how do you think you can access an esds record by using this aix?
what I wanted to see is this aix used in a module.


Hi Dick

the base cluster is never accessed thruu the AIX, it is accessed trhu a PATH

the logic is a shortcut to ..
read the aix to get the RBA
read the base using the RBA

accessing thru a PATH makes VSAM do the above steps behind the scene

in my first jcl You did not see any RBA because I accessed thru the PATH
