Insertions into a Variable-Length Relative-Record Data Set z/OS DFSMS Using Data Sets SC23-6855-00 |

A variable-length RRDS is processed in the same way as a fixed-length
RRDS, with the following exceptions:
As for a fixed-length RRDS, you can insert records into a variable-length RRDS either sequentially or directly. Sequential Insertion. When a record is inserted sequentially into a variable-length RRDS, it is assigned the next available relative record number in sequence. The assigned number is returned in the argument field of the RPL. Use mass sequential insertion with a variable-length RRDS. Direct Insertion. Direct or skip-sequential insertion of a record into a variable-length RRDS places the record as specified by the relative record number in the argument field of the RPL. If you specify a duplicate relative record number, VSAM sets an error return code in the RPL and rejects the request. |
