Greetings,

A few days ago, there was discussion about accessing a KSAM file with a
lockword from a COBOL program.  As I recall, someone made the statement
that it couldn't be done with the standard COBOL verbs, but required
using the file system intrinsics.  I don't remember anyone challenging
that statement.

What's the problem using COBOL verbs to access a KSAM file with a
lockword?  It works fine for me.  Did I miss something in the
discussion?

I agree with the person who wrote that he would rather use the COBOL I/O
statements than intrinsic calls.  KSAM was designed specifically with
COBOL in mind, and it works great.
