I have three fields in a Variable VSAM file
X(2)
Y(10) occurs X times
Z(02)
Say for the first record X=2
then the length of the file is
2+(10*3)+2=34
second record, x=4 then 4+(10*4)+2=46
If any time if the field x is updated then the total length
changes. Is it feasible?
Is it

Answer / satish
yes,as you say occurs X times for every record. but not x times
for single record. so your total length is
if x=2
then 1st record--> 2+(10*2)+2=36.
