kavi,

What about the access method coded in the FD of the vsam file?

Kolusu,

Please refer the FD section for this.
Code:

SELECT XXXXXXXX              ASSIGN       TO XXXXX       
                             ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED     
                             RECORD KEY   IS             
                                   XXX-2000-XXXXXXXX-KEYS
                             ACCESS       IS DYNAMIC     
                             FILE STATUS  IS STATUS-CODE.


Thanks,
Kavi

You need to capture the value of the key immediately before the READ and display it, or better yet, write it to a temp file. When you get a not found and issue the START/READ, and the READ returns a record, display/write the key from that too.

One other thing. Are you rebuilding the key after you CLOSE and the OPEN the VSAM file? Also, try changing the START to use = rather than >=.

At this point, you've sent the FD and the key layout. I think it would help if you posted the code used to build the key.
