 |
|
I am getting VSAM error code of 21 when I am trying to append the records to the existing VSAM file.
"21----- Sequentially accessed files only. Indicates a sequence error. The ascending key requirements of successive record key values has been violated, or, the prime record key value has been changed by a COBOL program between successful execution of a READ statement and execution of the next REWRITE statement for that file. "
Is there any method to append records into the VSAM file....when there exists records in the file?
thanks

Can you show us how are u trying to append the records to the VSAM file? ALso show us how u have specified the access method for the same.
You need to specify ACCESS IS SEQUENTIAL for the VSAM file and you need to open the VSAM in OUTPUT mode. Having done this, a simple WRITE statement will append the rows to the already existing records.
Hope I am not missing something.

Is your VSAM file a KSDS, ESDS, or RRDS file? Please show a listcat.
