What happens when you open an empty VSAM file in a COBOL
program for input?
Answer Posted / guest
A VSAM file that has never contained a record is treated as
unavailable. Attempting to open for input will fail. An
empty file can be opened for output only. When you open for
output, COBOL will write a dummy record to the file & then
delete it out.
