VSAM FILE HANDLING

Postby Santhya » Thu Oct 20, 2011 8:33 pm

This is my scenario:

I have 2 VSAM files(KSDS).One contains the Policy details and the other contains the customer details, BOTH HAVING THE POLICY NUMBER AS KEY. I need to compare the 2 files and write the matching records into another VSAM file.

How can i achieve it?
I tried this code. but dunno if it would work.

Please help me.

How can i achieve it?
I tried this code. but dunno if it would work.
1) If YOU don't know if the code will work, why not run it to find out? Why ask us?

2) You've got a simple two file match process here -- well understood in the industry and there are lots of solutions (COBOL ones, even) available if you exert yourself a little and look.

3) Posting that something did not work is useless -- tell us if it had a system abend, or a user abend, or did not abend but did not produce expected results, or whatever. And if you are expecting certain results you didn't get, post what you expected and what you actually got.

I don't think you've tried to compile your program.

It doesn't have "two-file-matching" logic in it, so, no, it won't work.

If you look in the Cobol forum here, at the top, you'll find an example program that should help you out a lot.

You should look at how to define your VSAM files for serial processing.

If you get stuck, come back and explain how you are stuck. Do you have access to a system to compile/run on?

Robet/BillyBoyo: i have applied for COMPILE/RUN access and waiting for it to get approved.So i was not sure if it would work. thanx for the reply.

Check your SELECT statements, they have an extra full-stop/period each. You have an ELSE without an IF.

You should check your file status for every IO operation, so for OPEN and CLOSE, READ and WRITE. What is file status 97 on a READ?

Get Dick's example while you are waiting, understand the logic of it and then apply the matching logic to your program.

Hi Billy,
I corrected the errors for the period and the ELSE. I included the 97 status to check if proper opeing has taken place.
I checked Dick's example. I tried working it with 2-ps files.
I have an idea to establish the same in VSAM to check if the records match. Please correct if am wrong.
-> Declare one with sequential access and another with Random access.
-> Read the 1st file (seq)
-> As both have policy number as key, move the key to the key variable of 2nd (random) and then try to read it. if it had the matching policy, read will be successful else it will not be able to read it. As we have declared the 2nd file as random, it will directly hit the respective policy and as 1st file is seq, it will perform seq read till EOF. Thereby, all records will be read and matching records will be found.
Regards,
Santhya

A qualified "yes". If your requirement is to find mismatches off either file, then it will not work.

The other thing is the "performance". It is generally slower to read records on a key than to read them serially. Depending on how many records you have on the driving file, you will notice this or not. Not many records, won't make much difference. A lot of records, a noticeable difference.

If either of these two things would present you with a problem fulfilling the requirement, then definitely go for the two-file-match.

Since both you files are keyed, you don't have duplicate keys for your match. If you are experimenting/learning then do a follow-on sometime with duplicate keys, first on one file, then the other, then both.

Hi Billy,
Got compile and run access.
I tried to work with the above logic. I got an error while opening the 3rd file(which is also VSAM) and thus could'nt proceed further with the execution. The return code is 37. How to overcome this?

Well, it is manual time for you. Try this, http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/igy3lr00/6.1.8.9.1?SHELF=igy3sh00&DT=20011206182158#HDRSTATKEY, first. Look down the left column for your 3, then the next column for your 7. Review you type of OPEN and the SELECT. You might also find more messages in the job output relating to your problem, look those up as well. Usually poking the message number into google will give you a start with that. There is also IBM's LOOKAT facility, if you google for that.

If you are still stuck, post your Select, FD, Open and the associated messages and we can give some help. Even if I could tell you exactly what is wrong from what you have given, it is still better that you do the searching yourself as you'll find it much easier to remember/know how to do it in the future.

Hi Bill,

Well, this user (even after several replies) decided to post this exact same question on another forum :(

If there was not such a dialog here, i'd have deleted this topic.
