can we use update option in readnext only if the VSAM file is in RLS mode?

vj2081,

You can specify UPDATE on a READNEXT command only if the file is accessed in RLS mode. If you specify UPDATE for a file accessed in non-RLS mode, CICS returns INVREQ.

You can specify UPDATE on READNEXT, but not on the STARTBR or RESETBR commands.

Check this link for a detailed explanation of READNEXT command

Hope this helps...

Cheers
