hi rupesh,
for the second question,ansWER is its not possible to read the ps file.becos as u said the ps file contains already 1000 records .so it is old file.SO DISP=MOD WILL ONLY ALLOW U TO APPEND RECORDS AT THE END OF THE FILE.It IS DONE IN EXTEND MODE.SO ONLY WRITE OPERATION IS ONLY POSSIBLE IN EXTEND MODE.SO NO READ IS POSSIBLE.
REGARDS,
SATHISH

For first question,

You get the testdata from production backup file. The production back up file contains previous day processing data. We hav an ouput for this production data.If you are doing testing with this production data, you can easily compare the result of your output and prodcution data. so by using NDM process, you can copy the data from prodcution.

For your second question

RESP

contains a number corresponding to the RESP condition that occurred. Thesenumbers are listed below (in decimal) for the conditions that can occur during execution of the commands described in this manual.

COBOL: PIC S9(8) COMP
C: long nt e bresp;
PL/I: FIXED BIN(31)
ASM: F

No. Condition No. Condition

00 NORMAL 55 ENQBUSY
01 ERROR 56 ENVDEFERR
02 RDATT 57 IGREQCD
03 WRBRK 58 SESSIONERR
04 EOF 59 SYSBUSY etc
RESP2

contains more detailed information that may help explain why the RESP
condition occurred. This field contains meaningful values, as documented
with each command to which it applies. For requests to remote files,
RESP2 contains zeroes.

Hi,

1).How can u get test data in ur company. explain?
A). You are asking for a test data to test a program right? Test data is nothing but data members which is a flat file given as Input to test the Program in Xpeditor. These data members can be created by TESTSEG. We use the option S.TES in our software, check the option with your administrator.
FIVE STEPS TO DO

You want to test and use Testseg and there is not an existing datamember
then the following steps are necessary.

Step 1.
Create a program flow of the program you want to test.

Step 2.
Convert the selected copymembers to the Testseg format.

Step 3.
Create a datamember by using the Testseg format.

Step 4.
Check the settings of Xpediter before you start testing.

Step 5.
Start testing the datamember in combination with Xpediter.

3)i have one ps file .it has contaning 1000 records. i want to open disp=mod. Can i read the records in the file?
A). As it is old file, you can read the record in the file. you can also write in it and the records will be appended to the file.

Regards,
Mike.
