Verify command.

Post by arrbee » Fri Feb 24, 2006 12:01 pm

Hi,

As per my knowledge, we use IDCAMS verify command to close the files. I mean, suppose a COBOL program that uses a KSDS file abends and it does not close the VSAM cluster. So, when some other program accesses the same cluster then it will get "Unable to open error" on the cluster. So, to avoid it we use VERIFY command to close the files before accessing it.

Please let me know if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks.

Hi Arrbee,

Thats Correct
VERIFY command also identify the End of the File and resets the catalouge Inforamtion
