COBOL compilers (COBOL 68 and earlier) required special intrinsics to access keyed files. The following intrinsics are provided only for the maintenance of COBOL 68 or earlier COBOL programs using KSAM structures.

NOTE: Do not use these intrinsics for new programming. Current COBOL file access modules provide KSAM file access.
