Q: Question:
Does CICS/6000 support alternate indexes for VSAM files ?
My user wants to migrate an application from a MVS/CICS host
and needs this support. Can you recommend which manuals
might be helpful for the user to use for the migration.

R: Response:
The CICS API (EXEC CICS READ, WRITE, DELETE, UNLOCK, etc.)
that deals with 'VSAM' support (actually provided by SFS
(the Encina Structure File Server)) is fully supported by
CICS/6000.
SC33-0931 AIX CICS/6000 Customization and Operation contains
several discussions of CICS/6000 interaction with SFS to
include an overview discussion, resource definitions,
security, setting up logservers and SFSs, etc.
SC33-33-0814 AIX CICS/6000 Application Programming Guide has
a Chapter on 'File Services', and SC33-0886 AIX CICS/6000
Application Programming Reference discusses the API Commands
in detail.
You may also want to get SC33-1007 CICS Family API Guide
which details the entire CICS API and what parts of it are
supported on each of the current IBM CICS platforms. This
manual will probably be most helpful for migration. You may
also want to consider taking some of you user's programs and
running them through the CICS/6000 translator to see what it
complains about.
