I found this on the WEB, is it correct?
Quote:
BDAM file handling
Enterprise COBOL does not support the processing of BDAM files. Convert any BDAM files to virtual storage access method/relative record data set (VSAM/RRDS) files.

Hello,

I believe that is correct.

If one was so iniclined, i believe it could still be done in assembler.

As suggested in the quote, i'd recommend defining a vsam file and using that for random access.
