how to create vsam file in file aid

Post by megtoma » Fri Jan 08, 2016 4:05 am

Hi,
I have the following requirements for an indexed vsam file:

Student-Number PIC 9(7).
Primary key

Student-Name PIC X(30).
Alternate key with duplicates

Gender Pic x(1)

Course-Code Pic x(4)

Fees-Owed PIC 9(4)

Amount-Paid PIC 9(4)V99.

In my program I have:
fd Student-master-file.
01 SM-rec.
03 SM-Keys.
05 SM-student-number PIC 9(7).
05 SM-student-name PIC 9(30).
03 SM-Rest.
05 filler Pic x(15).

Copy BSSStud.

My copybook is:
01 SM-STUDMAST.
03 SM-KEYS.
05 SM-ST-NUMBER PIC 9(7).
05 SM-ST-NAME PIC X(30).
03 SM-REST.
05 SM-gender PIC X(1).
05 SM-Course-Code Pic x(4)
05 SM-FEES-OWED PIC 9(4).
05 SM-AMOUNT-PAID PIC 9(6).

Could you please give me instructions how to create vsam file and copybook for that scenario on the mainframe? I am a complete beginner...
What attributes should those files have?
Many thanks,
