Hi,

while inserting records thru CICS onlines, suddenly file problem occured.
the VSAM file is fine and the data is used in test and it worked fine in test.

In prod, iam not able to insert, but I could update,delete the records. the program is having a error handling routine and throwing up the message from there.

could any one let me know how to approach the problem?

Thanks
Jay

Hi Jay,

In a vsam file (KSDS) you cannot insert the records
through usual file handling methods of COBOL.
Istead you have to use IDCAMS utility to
insert in the middle.

But i dont know how to use IDCAMS in COBOL.
