I've got 2 main questions today about VSAM files...
1) Is it possible to SORT FIELDS (by JCL) directly from a VSAM file? or do I need to copy the VSAM into a sequential file by REPRO (and then sort)?
2) I need also to update some information in a VSAM file, so... in a Cobol program... can I rewrite a VSAM file?
Thank you. |

VSAM files can be INPUT and OUTPUT to DFSORT.
Sort Tricks talks about loading and unloading VSAM files.
There are many examples of VSAM sorts/copies/loads in the forum.

you can rewrite a vsam record.
suggest you read the appropriate COBOL manual for your site List of All COBOL documents at IBM library server |
