Hello,
When you post "it didn't work" all you do is waste everyone's time.
What did you try (show the select, fd, open, read/re-write) and describe what error occurred. If the error is in the jes output, post that output. Mention the vsam return code. |

Variable or Fixed - rewrite actually does not discriminate on this basis, it's just rewrite. You need to post what had been asked many times. |
