Title: (Paraphrase problem in a single statement)Add support for VSAM-managed SAM files

Detailed Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)

 

VSE Navigator supports access to "true" VSAM. It would be very helpful to be able to browse and update VSAM-managed SAM files in the same way.

                                                                                            

Priority: (Select one: Urgent - High - Medium - Low) High

Requested Completion Date: (When? Examples: 3 months, 1 year, Next Release) Next release

Feature/Function

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

Because VSE Navigator allows mapping of VSAM records, it would be a great tool for "fixing" files since the records are displayed (mapped) in a very clear manner.

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

Allow full access to VSAM-managed SAM just like "true" VSAM.

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

VSE Navigator would provide us with a "gui" tool for viewing and fixing flat files that are sent by customers. There is no other means to easily display (mapped) records) from VSE.
