Hi,
My requirement is to update the values of a field in a VSAM ESDS file. The file should be accessed through alternate index. I'm not aware of how to handle these things in COBOL. I need a sample source for this requirement. Also could anyone please let me know, accessing ESDS thru alternate index makes this process faster or not? |

hi!
asn long as i know, it's impossible to use alternante index with ESDS file, you must build it on KSDS file.

Hi Gold stein,
I've created the alternate index for the ESDS. But i'm not aware of how to use it in COBOL. please find attached the JCL for building alternate index for ESDS.

Hi Soricheti
The link doesn't have a sample for handling ESDS with alternate index. But it has a sample for KSDS. Where they've used primary key as the mainkey for accessing data. Could you please provide me something specific properties of ESDS with COBOL? |

Sorry i mentioned it wrongly. I need to know the methods that can be used for ESDS. |

hi! sorry for the mistake i did it stem from the fact that in to cobol programmer guide only KSDS files are mentioned in connection with alternae index, but hopefully it can work correctl with ESDS which use the RBA to build the altername index instead of key of the base cluster, which indicate that it is more efficient to use ESDS then KSDS files.
Anyhow i know that you have to define a PATH which connect the AIX to the base cluster.
Your connection to the files is thru the PATH. When you open the path the AIX and the base cluster are opened, you read the files as usual but if the AIX key are not uniqe you get the first one in the list and vsam return code of 2 and you get the next record by issueing READ NEXT, when last record in the list read the r.c is zero.
sorry that if have not any examle.
