Getting Started

Learn about the features and basic use of Datacom VSAM Transparency.
Datacom VSAM Transparency
is designed to aid you in converting from the VSAM environment to the relational
Datacom/DB
environment. Previously coded VSAM applications can continue to operate efficiently under
Datacom VSAM Transparency
without being changed while new systems and applications are developed for
Datacom/DB
.
Conversion of VSAM files to
Datacom/DB
tables can be accomplished over time without interrupting normal processing since applications using
Datacom VSAM Transparency
can access data from both native VSAM files and converted
Datacom/DB
tables concurrently.
Datacom VSAM Transparency
supports processing by batch applications and online applications concurrently or independently.
