Using the VSAM/QSAM Wizard with the source code

This topic describes how the VSAM/QSAM wizard can be used with the source code.

The generated programs provide a good basis for developing applications that access VSAM and QSAM data sets; in nearly all cases some modification is necessary.

The generated batch applications have methods to open and close the data sets, read input, and write output. The application also accepts parameters. There is a driver program which calls the application with a parameter to copy the input data to the output data set. When some settings are made, the driver is not created.

The CICS® generation also creates an application and a sample driver program. The CICS program is designed to take parameters from an EXEC call. The program can also be modified to perform actions independently.
