Hi, I found the below example in ibm website to allocate a temporary ESDS VSAM file.

Code:

//VSAM1    DD   DSN=&CLUSTER,DISP=(NEW,PASS),
   //              RECORG=ES,SPACE=(1,(10)),AVGREC=M,
   //              LRECL=256,STORCLAS=TEMP


I wonder how to code to allocate a temporary KSDS VSAM file ! Is the below correct?

Code:

//VSAM1    DD   DSN=&KSDSVSAM,DISP=(NEW,PASS),
   //              RECORG=KS,SPACE=(1,(100)),AVGREC=M,
   //              LRECL=216,KEYLEN=18


Can I load 250,000 records into it using REPRO with IDCAMS and use as temporary file? Would you please give me the full details. Is it compulsory to code the KEYOFF=0 as my key starts from 1st byte.

Please help me.

Thanks.

mf_user,

why don't you try and see what happens when you run the job? You would a learn a lot by experimenting. Your second allocation of KSDS looks ok. If a Keylen value is specified, then the Keyoff attribute must also be specified, or 0 value is used.
