When you are writing code in EGL and intend to access a VSAM file,
create a Record part that is based on one of the following stereotypes:
- IndexedRecord
- To access a VSAM Key Sequenced Data Set (KSDS).
- RelativeRecord
- To access a VSAM Relative Record Data Set (RRDS).
- SerialRecord
- To access a VSAM Entry Sequence Data Set (ESDS).
The resource association file types that provide VSAM access are vsam, vsamrs,
and ibmcobol, as described in “Resource
association parts.”
Remote VSAM support
To access remote VSAM
files on z/OS® when you debug
EGL programs on Windows,
do as follows:
- Satisfy the access prerequisites
- Provide resource association information and reference the resource
association part from the build descriptor that you use for debugging
your program
Two access methods are available: TCP/IP and DFM, as described
in the reference topics.
