You CAN NOT concatenate VSAM files as you do with normal non VSAM files.
You need to develop some sort of logic to do what you want - maybe copy the two VSAM files to two flat files and then sort the concatenated flat files. |

Hi,
Please check this link :
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2D430/CCONTENTS?DT=20040624112123
section "3.6.3 Concatenating Data Sets Sequentially":
| Quote: |
A sequential concatenation can include sequential data sets, PDS members, PDSE members, and UNIX files. With sequential concatenation, the system treats a PDS, PDSE, or UNIX member as if it were a sequential data set. The system treats a striped extended-format data set as if it were a single-volume data set.
Rule: You cannot concatenate VSAM data sets. |

Hello Brahma,
What exactly you want to accomplish, if you tell us that - may be there can be some alternatives, something like:
1. REPRO both files into flat files.
2. Concatenate the files and eliminate any duplicates in key(SORT)
3. Load to your new VSAM. |

This thread has come up with some "glue" I think..I keep on coming..Hello again.. 
You could merge them using;
| Code: |
//SORTIN01 DD DISP=SHR,vsam.file1
//SORTIN02 DD DISP=SHR,vsam.file2
MERGE FIELDS=(....) |
But this presumes they are already in the sort-order that you desire.
Hopethis helps.. |
