KSAM/3000 Reference Manual

CREATING A KSAM FILE WITH KSAMUTIL 

Instead of using the file system intrinsic FOPEN to create the KSAM file,
you can create the file with the >BUILD command of the KSAMUTIL program.
Once created, the file can be opened with a call to FOPEN or CKOPEN.
(Note that CKOPEN cannot be used to create a file.)

The same file created in Figure 5-1 with FOPEN could be created in
KSAMUTIL as follows:

     :RUN KSAMUTIL.PUB.SYS
     >BUILD FEXAMFIL;REC=-72,10,F,ASCII;DEV=DISC;DISC=100;&
                 KEYFILE =FKEYFILE;KEY=B,1,20;KEY=B,21,8;FIRSTREC=1
