ESDS

for ESDS what is the organization mode and accessmode we have to write in cobol program file-control section.

i wrote both are sequential but it is giving following error.


A file attribute mismatch was detected. File TALKT in program COBESDSdetected. File TALKT in program COBESDS was defined as a physical sequentialfile and the file specified in the ASSIGN clause was a VSAM data set.

you SELECT clause reference name is probably incorrect.
visit the cobol manual for proper syntax for identifying a ESDS vsam ds.

[RaviTejaG]

i gave select clause as below.

SELECT TALKT ASSIGN TO TALKT
ORGANIZATION IS SEQUENTIAL
ACCESS MODE IS SEQUENTIAL
FILE STATUS IS WS-STATUS.

and can u give me link for cobol manual
