Answer / dev
u can not directly convert a flat file to vsam file because
vasam file have something called key filed which u need to
specify and it should be in some order asc/dsc or we can
say sorted on key filed and then we can copy the flat file
to vsam file

The attributes of the VSAM and Flat files are totally
different, so we cant copy the entire characteristics, but
i think we can copy the contents i.e datas using idcams
