We run Oracle on z/OS here but i haven't come across a VSAM Transparency option. i had a quick look in Oracle Metalink and someone had asked a similar question and the answer was ....
"Oracle's SQL*Loader will load MVS VSAM data directly into Oracle tables. However we do not offer a "VSAM Transparency" feature like you describe at this time." This was dated December 2004. thanks ... ross ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
