Is VSAM these days pretty much synonymous with KSDS? At one time, I worked in a shop where I converted all of our Univac 9030 data to IBM, and made everything VSAM, even though most files were relative or flat. But over time, I have been finding VSAM being used very little for non KSDS, and have seen people referring to VSAM as "IBM's ISAM". Of course, in some shops, VSAM is obsolete altogether (except for databases that use VSAM that programmers don't see). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
