I never did.
There's little reason to use BSAM. The consensus in this thread has been, QSAM is at least nearly as good as BSAM; perhaps better because it knows the best way to deal with current devices, when to WAIT, etc. And has far less coding effort. GET LOCATE might save a few instructions/record vis-a-vis GET MOVE. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
