Addressed Direct Processing

Processing Method

VSAM addressed direct processing allows access to a record through specification of the RBA. No generic partial key is allowed. Although direct processing is independent of any previously established position within the file, it can set the position for subsequent requests.

DML Commands

CA IDMS VSAM Transparency translates VSAM calls for addressed direct processing into the OBTAIN DBKEY DML command.
