I have a VSAM File Say ABC.ABC.ABC.
the Layout of the VSAM File is
| Code: |
02 Key
05 a pic x(30)
05 b pic 9(10)
02 Data
05 c pic x(30)
05 d pic 9(10)
05 e pic x(30)
05 f pic 9(10)
05 g pic x(30)
05 h pic 9(10)
|
Now I need to create a Single Alternate Index file for ABC.ABC.ABC having "e" "a" and "b" as alternate Key..
Please advise whether this can be acheived, if yes, Please provide me an example |

looks like You did not pay attention to the manual
for vsam the keys ( primary and alternate ) can consist only of contiguos bytes
if You need a key build from different fields You must restructure Your record layout |
