It allows you to move your VSAM data into a relational database with full SQL support (ANSI, FIPS, etc.) while providing your applications a VSAM interface to that data. I believe that you do not even have to relink your applications (run-time trapping of calls). Please contact me if you are interested. Yogesh Gupta Computer Associates (408) 922-2633
