Hello,

To know the correct way to do this on your system, you should ask some one who already loads db2 data from qsam files. You might also talk with your db2 support people.

There should be a standard way to load tables and your new process should use that standard.

If you are interested in seeing how others have done this, there are multiple topics on loading data in the forum.

Hi,

The best way to load a DB2 table is using a LOAD utility.
Just add the following to the LOad utility JCl

//DSNUPROC.SYSIN DD *
LOAD DATA INDDN(SYSREC) RESUME YES
INTO TABLE userid.Tablename(
column1 POSITION (1) datatype(datasize),
column2 POSITION (n) datatype(datasize)
)
/*
//DSNUPROC.SYSREC DD DSN=<source dataset name>,Disp=SHR

Work this out definitely this will work

Regards,
Deb

Hi,
What is the difference between loading from flat file to table and loading
from sequential file to table in jcl.
Can anyone throw some light

No difference.
"Flat file" is not a technical term.

Hello,

Said slightly differently, a sequential file is a flat file.

"Flat file" is just slang that caught on. . .
