I want to open a new VSAM KSDS and write a record to it then delete the record so that the file is empty but had it's "Initial Load". I thought that fileaid could do this as it does it in the online version fine, but I want to set up a batch job. The initial load is easy enough but how can I delete a record?
Looks like I'll have to knowck up a quick program to do it, it just had the
ring of something that can be done by fileaid or the like.

Not sure what you mean by "in place"?
We use SORT for that purpose, which requires a file with REUSE attribute
and a work file. When SORTs are used to update a file "in place" without
using a work file, we call them "suicide sorts".
One could also use IDCAMS for the record creation.

I'm talking about batch of course!

Hi Listers,
How do you get Fileaid to create and delete records in place for a VSAM
KSDS? I have RTFM'd but it is well hidden.
thanks
Gerry
