naveensri2005,

Rewrite:

- Read the record with Update option
- Make updates
- Rewrite it to the file

Code:
EXEC CICS READ
      DATASET (DSNAME)
      INTO (WS-VAR)
      RIDFLD (KEY-FLD)
      LENGTH (LENGTH-FLD)
      UPDATE
      RBA
END-EXEC


Once the Read is successful, Update the required fields and rewrite the record as below

Code:
EXEC CICS REWRITE
     DATASET (DSNAME)
     FROM (WS-VAR)
     LENGTH (LENGTH-FLD)
     RBA
END-EXEC



Read with SET:

Code:
EXEC CICS READ
      DATASET (DSNAME)
      SET (ADDRESS OF WS-VAR)
      RIDFLD (KEY-FLD)
      LENGTH (LENGTH-FLD)
      RBA
END-EXEC



Read with GENERIC:

Code:
EXEC CICS READ
      DATASET (DSNAME)
      INTO (WS-VAR)
      RIDFLD (KEY-FLD)
      LENGTH (LENGTH-FLD)
      GENERIC
      KEYLENGTH (KEY-LENGTH-FLD)
      RBA
END-EXEC



Hope this helps

Regards
Mayuresh

Hi Mayuresh,

I believe the rewrite in ESDS is valid only if the lenght of the record which is to be rewritten is same as the previous record.

Correct me if I am wrong.

regards,
David.

Hi,


Sorry for the misguidance, you can actually replace the field name in RIDFLD with RBA address in case of ESDS.
