Chapter 8 Migration and Mixed Mode Processing

MPE/iX offers two KSAM file formats: CM KSAM and KSAM XL. CM KSAM is the two-file KSAM structure used on MPE V/E systems.

KSAM XL, a single-file KSAM structure, is used only on MPE/iX systems. A KSAM XL file offers a more convenient single-file format.

Programs running in CM or NM can access either type of KSAM file. Use the FCOPY utility to migrate data and rebuild indexes from one KSAM file format to another.

	NOTE: RPG Programmers: Record-level locking cannot be used for either type of KSAM file on MPE/iX.
