we do not do urgent,
and accessing vsam thru assembler is not for the faint of hart or inexperienced people and itself cannot be done urgently!

You use the ACB to generate access control block. Then you use RPL to generate specific requests. I have done this in VM a long time ago(92). Not really all that hard. Like anything else, it helps to have the manuals. My objective was to speed up the load of a KSDS file containing 40 million records. I chained a bunsh of RPLs and sent it off all at once. It did speed up the process and cut the cpu times.
