What You Can Do

CULLVSAM retrieves selected records from a VSAM file that is used as input for a CA Culprit run. You can use CULLVSAM to read selected variable- or fixed-length records that are stored in key-sequenced (KSDS) or entry-sequenced (ESDS) VSAM files. The VSAM records can be read:

• Sequentially from a particular point in the VSAM file (pointed start)
• Directly by key or relative byte address (RBA)
