VSAM support

VSAM support for EGL-generated Java™ code is as follows:

Access prerequisites

Access requires that you first define the VSAM file on the system where you want the file to reside. Remote access from Windows 2000/NT/XP (whether for the EGL debugger or at run time) also requires that you install Distributed File Manager (DFM) on the workstation as follows:
  1. Locate the following file in your EGL installation directory:
      workbench\bin\VSAMWIN.zip
  2. Unzip the file into a new directory and follow the directions in the INSTALL.README file.

System name

To access a local VSAM file, specify the system name in the resource associations part and use the naming convention that is appropriate to the operating system. To access a remote VSAM file from the EGL debugger or from EGL-generated Java code, specify the system name in the following way:
  \\machineName\qualifier.fileName
machineName
The SNA LU alias name as specified in the SNA configuration
qualifier.fileName
The VSAM data set name, including a qualifier
The naming convention is similar to the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format. For details on UNC format, refer to the Distributed FileManager User's Guide, which is in the following file in your EGL installation directory:
  workbench\bin\VSAMWIN.zip
