Reading a VSAM file in SAS

Hi,

I need to update two records for the VSAM file. I am reading the file by using the key and updating different fields for the two records.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on this.

Perhaps if you told us what the problem is rather than what you want to do we may be able to help you.

Suggestion 1: Google "sas vsam update" to find examples on how to do this.
Suggestion 2: There is a book called SAS Guide to VSAM Processing. Buy it and read it to find out just about anything you need to know about processing VSAM files in SAS.
