Any reason you don't want to convert them to native mode ? There are
two, nay three, advantages 

1) single file rather than separate file for data and key 
2) read/write performance
3) the files don't use as much disk space

Subject: [HP3000-L] KSAM Files (not Native Mode)

I need to set up a procedure to increase the size of KSAM files for a
completely new HP3000 user.  These files are NOT native mode. 
 
So far my solution has been to
1. fcopy the records out of the KSAM file to a flat file 2. Use KSAM
Util to get Key info 3. Purge and Rebuild the file 4. fcopy the records
back into the KSAM file
 
Keep in mind the user has very little knowledge of the 3000 and they do
not have any 3rd party tools like suprtool.   Does a more straight
forward way to complete this task exist?  They do have Cognos (quiz,
qtp, Etc.).
