I got it wrong. I found this in the VSAM Redbook, under DB2: "DB2 uses linear (LDS) VSAM data sets for its table spaces, without implementing Data-in-Virtual. All the control (including buffer pool) is done by DB2. For example, DB2 implements data striping in LDS data sets."
Now I'm curious how they do that because nowhere have I yet found any reference to LDS without talking about DIV... -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Binyamin Dissen Sent: 4. elokuuta 2007 21:51 To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: VSAM Linear Dataset n00b question On Fri, 3 Aug 2007 20:10:51 +0200 Lindy Mayfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: :>Is it possible to access VSAM linear data sets without going through the :>DIV macros? By using VSAM macros? What are you trying to do? The basic purpose of DIV is to allow the file to be accessed and updated as memory. You can map it to a private area as well as a dataspace. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
