Hi,

can anybody tell how many duplicate alternate index key allowed in VSAM if the alternate index is defined as non unique?

Thanks in advance.

What have you researched for yourself, what methods did you use, manuals, google, another, and what did you find out.

There is a manuals link at the top of the page. Click on it, find the VSAM Services for DFSMS manual, open it, navigate to chapter 13.1.2 on DEFINE ALTERNATEINDEX optional parameters and read. The answer is provided there.
