Can we use empty VSAM as input?
Answer Posted / biswaranjan
No its not possible at all.
If u are using a empty VSAM file it ll show:
FILE STATUS : 35
If you want to read it you have to get inside the file and
incert a dummy record there.

When you specify multiple datasets in a JOBLIB or STEPLIB, what factor determines the order?
I have a COBOL program that ACCEPTs some input data. How do you code the JCL statement for this?
What are steplib and joblib? What for they are used?
is there any way to execute more than one proc in the same exec statement at the same time..?
what disp parameter we mention for creation of temporary dataset so that we can use it in later steps?
The disp in the JCL is MOD and the program opens the file in OUTPUT mode. What happens ? The disp in the JCL is SHR and the pgm opens the file in EXTEND mode. What happens ?
what are JCLLIB and STEPLIB in JCL?
Is their any limit for data sets?
1) SORT FIELDS=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) OUTREC FIELDS=(7:20,4,C' FUTURE ',20,2,10,3,1Z,1,9,13,7, 24,57,TRAN=LTOU,6X'FF') This example illustrates how a fixed-length input data set can be sorted and reformatted for output. The SORTIN LRECL is 80 bytes. The reformatted output records are fixed length with a record size of 103 bytes. SOLRF (the IBM-supplied default) is in effect, so unless the SORTOUT LRECL is specified or available, it will automatically be set to the reformatted record length of 103. in the above example i have some doubts that a) sort fields=(20,4,CH,D,10,3,CH,D) -what exactly it does and this fields related to output record fields or input record fields b)outrec used to refprmat the records after sorting that means could please reply me as soon as possible Thanks.
