program ? Pls tell me about these two questions.

Answer Posted / shivani

Move highvalues to the key of the VSAM file and the issue Readnext record command. Then give Readprev command. This will read the last record. In VSAM, there is one command HURBA, Using that we can read the last record, If you want to know more about go to IBM RED BOOKS. You will get the solution.
by using the HURBA we can get the max records by using the CKD count key data we will get the last record
