Hello,

I am trying to enter high values in a KSDS file.

I have opened the file in edit mode in File Aid and have copied a record ,opened it in HEX ON mode and tried entering 'FF' but i am not successful.

Can someone pls help in this regard?

Thanks in advance ,
Tushar

If the file is online in CICS, you can use the CECI transaction. Otherwise, write a very short COBOL program to write it.

You could also use IDCAMS, SORT, File Aid, or any number of other utilities to do this.

Hi,

if it is the KEY you are trying to insert then your record should be in the end as its a KSDS file the key should be sorted.

Hope this helps
