I have two questions here. 1. How to read a flat file in reverse order? 2. How to read a VSAM KSD..

Answer / kingmanish

For the KSDS file we can set the pointer on the last record.
After that use the command READ Previous to read the
records in the reverse order.

I am not very sure about flat file. May be we can use a
turn around.
Sort the file in descending order first and then start
reading.
