VSAM redirect

[Frank M. Ramaekers]

Is it possible to use VSAM redirection with a TEXT file as a ESDS?  (Probably not as a VSAM managed SAM.)

(Thought I saw something like this….somewhere…at sometime)

Hi Frank,

yes that works.

If you plan to have a VSE application write to that redirected ESDS, then you can use one of the sample redirector handlers provided with the VSAM Redirector package: CSVHander or HtmlHandler. They create a CSV/HTML file on the remote system with the data written to the ESDS file.

The CrlfFileHandler allows to sequentially read or write to the redirected ESDS file. Each record is one line in the text file on the remote system.

Kind regards,
Ingo Franzki

Really, it's more the other way. A Windows server has a text file that
is updated by a Windows process that z/VSE needs access to (R/O).

Hi Frank,

then the CrlfFileHandler should do what you want.
