Hi
Gerry
To answer your question. You should be able to use UPDATE function on the
empty file. What this will do is open and then close the file. There should
be no need to actually create a record and delete as the only thing you need
is an open and close on the file.
Just as a side note. If you have any question like this feel free in
contacting our Hotline at 1-800-538-7822 (the call is free to clients who
are paying maintenance).

Subject: Re: Fileaid
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.

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
