Answer Posted / codebulls

At times a vendor might offer a file to be consumed by a mainframe application. Rather than the primary key, the file would contain another field in the VSAM which is unique but not the primary key of VSAM. If such fields are made to be Alternate Index, unnecessary reads and performance overhead can be avoided.
