Processing a KSDS
• KSDS can be processed 3 ways– Sequentially
• Records accessed in key sequence
– Randomly• Records accessed via a specified key value
– Dynamically• Records accessed both sequentially and
randomly
3
Sequentially Processing a KSDS
• Access records in ascending order on the file’s key field
• Usually begin with the first record and process to the end
4
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
File-Control.SELECT file-name
ASSIGN to ddname
ORGANIZATION is INDEXED
ACCESS MODE is SEQUENTIAL
RECORD KEY is data-name-1
FILE STATUS is data-name-2.
5
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.SELECT file-name
where file-name is the name used for the file throughout the
program
6
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.ASSIGN to ddname
where ddname is the ddname in the JCL used to refer to the KSDS file
7
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.ORGANIZATION is INDEXED
where INDEXED specifies that this file is a KSDS
8
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.ACCESS MODE is SEQUENTIAL
where SEQUENTIAL specifies that the processing of the KSDS will be in order on the key field of the file
9
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.RECORD KEY is data-name-1
where data-name-1 is the file’s key field and the records are going to be accessed ascending on this field
data-name-1 must appear in the file’s record description in the FILE SECTION
10
File-Control for Sequential KSDS
• File-Control.FILE STATUS is data-name-2
where data-name-2 is a filed you specify in which VSAM provides information about each I/O operation
VSAM places a return code in data-name-2 for the application program to determine the result of the I/O operation
11
Common File Status for KSDS
Code Meaning00 Successful completion
10 End of file reached
21 Sequence error
22 Duplicate key
23 Record not found
24 No more space

13
Procedure Division in KSDS Sequential Processing
• OPEN statement
• START statement
• READ statement
• WRITE statement
• REWRITE statement
• DELETE statement
• CLOSE statement
14
KSDS OPEN Statement
• OPEN statement (sequentially)
• Must open all files– Loading sequentially
• OPEN OUTPUT ksds-file.
– Retrieving sequentially• OPEN INPUT ksds-file.
15
KSDS START Statement
• START statement– Used to start sequential processing with a
record other than the first record in the file– Use with a file that is opened as input or
dynamically (I-O) and processing sequentially
– To use, place a value in the record key area
16
KSDS START Statement
• START statementSTART vsam-file
[KEY IS {EQUAL TO=GREATER THAN>NOT LESS THANNOT <GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO>= }
record-key][INVALID KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID KEY imperative-2][END-START]
17
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (sequential)– To retrieve records in key sequence, open
KSDS for either• INPUT or• I-O
18
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (sequential)
READ file-name RECORD [INTO area]
[AT END imperative-1]
NOT AT END imperative-2]
[END-READ]
19
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (sequential)
READ file-name [NEXT]
Specify NEXT on the READ statement to retrieve records sequentially when file is opened for I-O
Omit NEXT when file is opened for I-O and the records will be retrieved randomly based on the value in the RECORD KEY field
20
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (sequential)– The key using dynamic access is knowing
how to switch from sequential to random access.
– The position for sequential retrieval is changed only by a START or a random READ statement.
21
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (sequential) – A random READ statement can be used to
retrieve a specific record and then can be followed by a sequential READ statement (using the NEXT option)
22
KSDS WRITE Statement
• WRITE statement (sequential)– KSDS must be opened for
• OUTPUT for file creation (loading of data)• I-O for file additions
– A value must be placed into the primary key field prior to the write
23
KSDS WRITE Statement
• WRITE statement (sequential)
WRITE record-name [FROM area]
[INVALID-KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID-KEY imperative-2]
[END-WRITE]
24
KSDS WRITE Statement
• WRITE statement (sequential)– INVALID-KEY imperative-1 is executed when
• the value stored in the primary key field prior to issuing the WRITE is equal to that of a record already in the file
• an attempt is made to write beyond the boundaries of the file
• the primary key is not greater than the primary key of the previous record AND the file is opened for OUTPUT and sequential accessing is specified
25
KSDS REWRITE Statement
• REWRITE statement (sequential)– the KSDS must be opened for I-O– the record to be rewritten needs to be the
last record read from the file • must read the record prior to rewriting it
26
KSDS REWRITE Statement
• REWRITE statement (sequential)
REWRITE record-name [FROM area]
[INVALID KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID KEY imperative-2]
[END-REWRITE]
27
KSDS REWRITE Statement
• REWRITE statement (sequential)– [INVALID KEY imperative-1] is executed
when• the record to be changed does not exist in the
file• sequential access is specified and the value
placed in the primary key doesn’t equal the primary key fo the previously read record
28
KSDS DELETE Statement
• DELETE statement (sequential)– KSDS opened as I-O– delete the record read in the last READ
statement– the space in KSDS is immediately
available for reuse
29
KSDS DELETE Statement
• DELETE statement (sequential)
DELETE file-record RECORD
[INVALID-KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID-KEY imperative-2]
[END-DELETE]
30
KSDS DELETE Statement
• DELETE statement (sequential)– [INVALID-KEY imperative-1] is executed when
• an attempt to delete a record that does not exist is made
31
KSDS CLOSE Statement
• CLOSE statement (sequential)– list the KSDS that is to be closed
32
KSDS Load Program in COBOL
• Go over handout
“COBOL JCL
& Source Review for Loading KSDS”
33
KSDS Random Processing
• All I/O operations depend upon the record key
• Before READ a value must be in the record key
• Before WRITE a value must be in the record key
34
File-Control for Random KSDS
File-Control.SELECT file-name
ASSIGN to ddname
ORGANIZATION is INDEXED
ACCESS MODE is RANDOM
RECORD KEY is data-name-1
FILE STATUS is data-name-2.
35
File-Control for Random KSDS
File-Control.ACCESS MODE is RANDOM
The only difference in the SELECT statement for random processing is the word RANDOM access
36
Procedure Division in KSDS Random Processing
• OPEN statement
• READ statement
• WRITE statement
• REWRITE statement
• DELETE statement
• CLOSE statement
37
KSDS OPEN Statement
• OPEN statement (random)
• Must open all files– Retrieving randomly
• OPEN INPUT ksds-file.
– Writing randomly• OPEN OUTPUT ksds-file.
– Reading, rewriting and deleting randomly• OPEN I-O ksds-file.
38
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (random)– To retrieve records based upon value in
the record key field, open KSDS for either• INPUT or• I-O
39
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (random)– To retrieve records based upon value in
the record key field, open KSDS for either• INPUT or• I-O
40
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (random)
READ file-name RECORD [INTO area]
[KEY IS data-name-1]
[INVALID KEY imperative-1]
NOT INVALID KEY imperative-2]
[END-READ]
41
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (random)
[KEY IS data-name-1]
The key value of the record that is to be retrieved from the KSDS must be placed in data-name-1 prior to issuing the READ statement.
42
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (random)– when invoked comparison is made
• between the value of the field specified in the RECORD KEY clause of the SELECT statement (known as “key of reference”) and
• the key values of the KSDS records
– search is done via the index– appropriate control interval is read into
memory and sequentially searched
43
KSDS WRITE Statement
• WRITE statement (random)
WRITE record-name [FROM area]
[INVALID-KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID-KEY imperative-2]
[END-WRITE]
44
KSDS WRITE Statement
• WRITE statement (random)– used to add records to a file– KSDS uses the RECORD KEY value to write the
record in its proper physical location
45
KSDS REWRITE statement
• REWRITE statement (random)
REWRITE record-name [FROM area]
[INVALID KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID KEY imperative-2]
[END-REWRITE]
46
KSDS REWRITE statement
• REWRITE statement (random)– used to update a record in its original physical
location– KSDS uses the RECORD KEY value to rewrite the
record in its proper physical location
47
KSDS DELETE Statement
• DELETE statement (random)
DELETE file-record RECORD
[INVALID-KEY imperative-1]
[NOT INVALID-KEY imperative-2]
[END-DELETE]
48
KSDS DELETE Statement
• DELETE statement (random)– used to delete a record from its physical location– KSDS uses the RECORD KEY value to find the
record to delete
49
KSDS CLOSE Statement
• CLOSE statement (random)– list the KSDS that is to be closed
50
KSDS Dynamic Processing
• Processing can be a mix of sequential and random
• All the statements remain the same except the SELECT and the sequential READ
51
KSDS Dynamic Processing
• Using dynamic processing effectively is knowing how to switch from sequential to random access– position for sequential retrieval by a
• START or• random READ
– issue READ using NEXT for sequential processing
52
KSDS Dynamic Processing
• Note: – During dynamic processing issuing a
WRITE, REWRITE, or DELETE statement does not change file position
– Use START or random READ to change file position
53
File-Control for Dynamic KSDS
File-Control.SELECT file-name
ASSIGN to ddname
ORGANIZATION is INDEXED
ACCESS MODE is DYNAMIC
RECORD KEY is data-name-1
FILE STATUS is data-name-2
54
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (dynamic)
READ file-name [NEXT] RECORD [INTO area]
[KEY IS data-name-1]
[INVALID KEY imperative-1]
NOT INVALID KEY imperative-2]
[END-READ]
55
KSDS READ Statement
• READ statement (dynamic)– NEXT is used in dynamic processing of
KSDS to retrieve records sequentially on the key
– if NEXT is omitted the records are retrieved randomly based on the value in the RECORD KEY field
