Hi K.A,
Do you have any sample source to read a vsam indexed file. I need to read an indexed file first randomly then keep on reading until the record gets changed. Let say I have a file whose key field is employee code and sequence number. Now for a single policy the file can have multiple records (note policy will remain same but sequnce number will be different). Now an employee code will be passed to the program and it should write all the records related that particular employee.
