HI,

I am stuck up with some questions and it would be great if someone could help me out on this.

1. A VSAM file opened in an IO mode in one program can be opened in the Input mode in another at the same time. Is this right? If this is right, then will the updations or insertions from the program opening this file in the IO mode be accessible to the program which is browsing the file in the Input mode simultaneously.

2. Will deletion of records also be possible at that situation?
