Delete is a primary command and purge/erase/force are subcommands.

2.1 Number of record: use LISTCA in ISPF near the vsam or use LISTCAT with IDCAMS in batch process and see the field REC-TOTAL
2.2 Freespace availability: use the same of 2.1 but look for FREESPC

Key (3 09)

Hi,
5) what is vsam re organization and how frequently we need do that?
a: whenever there is too many splits(CA & CI) happens, the CI & CA becomes complicated and also with the Index and sequence sets. So the performance may decrease in due course. So to avoid this, we go for re-organization of VSAM datasets. This is mainly for KSDS(as ESDS has nothing to do with insertions). Back up of the current dataset is taken and then define the new KSDS file and load the backup data to it back. This forms the VSAM dataset organized. Hope this will clear your doubt. |
