As someone else has already mentioned Hyperbatch. Here's a link to the manual.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idag200/hbatch.htm -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of IronSphere by SecuriTeam Software Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2017 1:25 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Easiest way to share incore data between batch jobs If your interest is sharing, CICS can store a complete vsam file in dataspace using a standard IO routines (GET, PUT, POINT etc.). It is few CICS parameters away and involves no code change. I am not sure that EXCI will save you CPU or elapse. BTW, there are few products that store data in storage and/or dataspaces (Matrix from Expanse comes to mind). Another alternative is to store the dataset in a common area (nay be above the bar), and store the start and end addresses in single name-token pair. you just need a loaded program and a search one. this fits for a none updated file.
