Error description

  • When attempting to edit a VSAM file with alternate indices, the
client received this error message:

   This function requires CICS files with alternate indexes
   to be defined with the ADD and DELETE attributes.

Changing the attributes open the files to be deleted by users.
This will compromise the client's security environment should
those attributes be required to be changed.
