Is there a question somewhere in here or merely a statement of intent |

Once the base cluster is built, load at least one record into the file. Use IDCAMS to build the alternate index -- manual link at the top of the page if you need to know the command options -- then relate the two and build the path. You reference the AIX through its path, not directly to the AIX name. |

Hello,
In addition to reviewing the manual, suggest you find the idcams job that was initially used to define the file as well as any alternate indexes. This same jcl and control statements should be used to create the replacement vsam. |
