Currently the programA is using vsam as its input file. The reqmt is to change the program to use flat file replacing vsam file KSDS.
The changes I made to the program are : 1. removed organisation is indexed, access mode in the select clause 2. removed START key usage in the procedure division during KSDS READ.
Please let me know whether any other changes I need to make to change the program to use flat file replacing vsam file KSDS. LRECL, layouts are same. Only aim is to replace vsam file with the flat file. |

| If the logic of the code depends upon doing direct reads, you may have to rewrite the program from scratch. The mere fact the file layout is the same is so small a factor as to be almost insignificant. Without looking at the code, we will be unable to tell you what other changes would be needed. There are a number of people on this forum who would happily take on that assignment for their usual daily rate (expect to pay 500 to 1000 U.S. dollars per day if you go that route). |

Like Robert, I think you have more work ahead of you than this. You can't do a keyed read on a flat file. So, if you are reading your KSDS on a key (which it looks like) think some more.
Without knowing much more about what you are doing, we can't provide much of any use to you.
Why don't you want to use the KSDS?
How is the KSDS being used in the program at the moment? |
