Hi

I have heard that SYNCBIX (SYNCSORT) helps to create alternate index of an VSAM file and also it reduces CPU% by 30% when compared to IDCAMS.

Could some one help me to get the syntax and usage of SYNCBIX

why not look at the syncsort manuals Yourself

a quick and dirty and simple google search for "SYNCSORT SYNCBIX"

would have shown that it is a VSE feature only

enrico,

I tried searching the document, but i couldn't able to find any thing.

While searching in NET i found

"Utility programs

Default options report (SYNCLIST).
High performance creation of VSAM alternate index files (SYNCBIX).
Multiple concurrent sorting (SSRAM).
Variable-length record analysis (SYNCHSTO). "

So could you please post the document of SYNCBIX if you have

Thanks in advacne

k_rajen1,

If your organization is licensed to use a product, the you should be having the product manuals. If you dont have one, Ask your peers or request a manual from SyncSort website.

Rajendra,

SYNCBIX is shipped with SyncSort VSE. There is no equivalent in SyncSort for z/OS.

As indicated by Enrico, Dick, and Anuj, documentation is available to all licensed SyncSort customers. Manuals are also available under special agreement to consultants and developers whose services are being retained by a licensed customer of Syncsort Incorporated. If you fall into either of these categories, please feel free to contact me at alissa.margulies@syncsort.com and I would be happy to further assist you.

If you are not licensed for SyncSort VSE, but are interested in trialing the product, let me know and I can put you in touch with the appropriate department.

Regards,
