What You Can Do

CULEVSAM writes entry-sequenced (ESDS), key-sequenced (KSDS), and relative-sequenced (RSDS) VSAM records to an already existing VSAM data set.

You can use CULEVSAM to:

• Add ESDS records to the end of the existing VSAM data set
• Add KSDS records according to the ascending value of each key field
• Add RSDS records to null VSAM data set created with the utility IDCAMS expressly for the CULEVSAM run or a previously existing nonblank data set
