Hi,
Is is possible to query cics system definition file (which is a vsam file) in a cobol program?
I have this doubt since it is a system file and that using a system file in a user written cobol program would alter it. |

If you have the information of the structure of the data, there's no reason why you couldn't READ the file for queries.
Regards,
Garry. |

the problem here is that the definition of the csd file is not known. We have no idea of how the key structure is. Any inputs regarding it? |

You might start by looking at the IBM-supplied ADFHSAMP(DFH£CRFP) - the CSD Cross Referencing Sample Program.

You can use DFHCSDUP (CICS RDO OFF-LINE UTILITY PROGRAM) to list all the objects defined in CSD file
!!! Cautious: Consult with System admin for more info
//CONSDEF EXEC PGM=DFHCSDUP
//STEPLIB DD DSN=HLQ.SDFHLOAD,DISP=SHR
//DFHCSD DD DSN=HLQ.DFHCSD,DISP=OLD
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
LIST ALL OBJECTS
/*
Thanks

[S/360] was the biggest, riskiest decision I ever made, and I agonized about it for weeks,but deep down I believed there was nothing IBM couldn't do.
