If you want to read the KSDS, do you want to read it sequentially or randomly?
If sequential then perform a startbrowse in your program checking the key value and then read.
If random directly move the value into key and read the file.

You can also view by print the contents through IDCAMS.
//PRINT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT  DD SYSOUT=*
//INPUT DD DSN=YOUR.KSDS,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN DD *
 PRINT
 INFILE(INPUT)
/*

//INPUT DD DSN=YOUR.KSDS,DISP=OLD


I would change the DISP to SHR unless you have a real need to have exclusve use of the dataset
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.
