I think you could define like this:
1) define Aix ,
2)key (8,8)....
3)DEFINE the PATH
4)LOAD BLINDX
in COBOL program...
File-control.
Select ........
ACCESS is DYNAMIC
ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
RECORD-KEY IS ROOMID-KEY
ALTERNATE KEY IS FLOOR-ROOMNO WITH DUPLICATE KEY
FILE STATUS IS TEST-FILE_STATUS.
FILE SECTION.
FD ......
01 Record-vasm
02 Roomid-key pic x(09).
02 Floor-roomno.
03 Floor pic x(06).
03 Roomno pic x(02).
02 OCCUPIED....
try it, in JCL DD you give the PATH NAME
