Dear team,

Could anyone tell me how to browse VSAM file using Data Xpert through REXX?

I mean, Rexx should open VSAM file using Data Xpert.

Note: Data Xpert is similar to File-Aid

Thanks,
Mani

I suppose that you must use the exec module of Data Xpert to do what you need.
If you alloc the correct dd and run, within your rexx in
Code:
Address LinkMvs 'pgm1 parm...'

where pgm1 is FILEAID or other product you will able to do all you want but you must to know if this product has a batch environment or not.
If has not you must spend more lines of code.

I hope in this help

Ehm, I suppose that I made a mistake reading your original post.
I suggested you to use the Address LinkMvs but I suppose that you want to create something foreground(as Call to product) to view vsam and I was thinking to a background mode.
I don't know that product so I suppose that only with the help of someone else you will find a solution.

I'm really sorry
