Hi,
I've an existing VSAM file, for which I need to define an alternate index key.
I've learnt that it could be done by means of BMC Secondary Utility. Could someone help me out in this regard?

Thanks,
Anirban.

thakuranirban,

hmm I am not familiar with BMC secondary utility, but you can define an ALTERNATE index using IDCAMS. Check this link

YES - Use IDCAMS

That way you will learn the correct code and should you go to a shop without these whizzy paid for products, you will be able to do it anyway.
