Review:

VSAM for the COBOL Programmer is an essential reference for anyone with a need to process VSAM files in their programs. VSAM for the COBOL Programmer includes the COBOL elements for handling key-sequenced, entry-sequenced, and relative record VSAM files; error handling routines for VSAM files and why (and how) to code them; the program-development functions of the VSAM utility, Access Method Services; VSE and MVS JCL for programs that process VSAM files, alternate indexing, and VS COBOL II considerations. Written clearly, comprehensively, and systematically, VSAM for the COBOL Programmer is an excellent addition to any COBOL programmer's collection. -- Midwest Book Review
