At the time I mentioned the AWO the file's properties were still unknown.
No, it will not (according to the documentation) affect a QSAM FB, or anything except a QSAM VB.
I do not know whether a program only containing input QSAM VB (rather than containing at least one output QSAM VB) would do the same thing, ie use a record-area rather than addressing the buffer.
Some things to play with :-)
Plus, I am not suggesting that this is at all a "good thing". I'd advise anyone to specifically code APPLY WRITE ONLY for each QSAM VB output file and just have done with it. I think the compiler option AWO is a bad thing to use. It is for the lazy, and it is implemented sloppily. |
