I've been using a no-warrantee program our Mobius tech gave me when we first installed Infopac-RDS many years ago. It's not something they officially support, but I've been able to get an updated copy from them every time the INVERS1 or INDIST1 formats change. It's called INMASS1. I don't know how they feel about it's distribution, so you might try seeing if you can get a copy. It usually comes from one of their SEs (or whatever they call themselves). It's a short program with control cards that pretty much does what's previously been talked about with EZtrieve. It has vastly simplified our administration.

I do just to prevent any possible contention on the VSAM's. They are hit pretty heavily by internal and website users. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Low, David Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 3:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ViewDirect question. > If you repro your INVERS and INDIST files to seq, you can read through > those and build your control cards.

But why repro to seq first? EZT can read through and process a vsam on FILEA directly like a seq file.
