Hi,
I just want to check what VSAM manual is recommended to buy ?
I am a newbie in VSAM programming and I wanted to learn doing programming with CICS and COBOL>
Any available manual in the market ?
I found a lot of IBM related manuals, but they are too technical.
Can someone help me with this ?
Thanks.

Hi Kolusu and Avi,
Thanks for the site, however, I wanted to buy or get some manuals with basic COBOL Code accessing VSAM files.
I just want to know how to code VSAM file in COBOL/CICS ?

Thanks so much for fast reply.
This MVS Forums site is really a big help to Mainframe programmers like me.
