I am trying to do browse and readnext operations on a ksds but as soon as it reads it is deleting all the rows from my ksds. I created ksds with default data component, Index component and with freespace, keylength, and indexed parameters.
What could be the reason for the above problem and i tried to search in this forum i could not find answer but i found some thing about sysprog could any body plz let me know any link or information about sysprog

thanking you

sejjobs,

Hmm did you check if the ksds you are trying to read is a TDQ? In a In TDQ data item can be read once only. After the read the record is deleted

Hope this helps...

Cheers

If your VSAM file was defined with the REUSE option I think it will get emptied every time it is opened (STARTBROWSE will do an implied open if the file is closed). The solution is to define the file with NOREUSE.
