You can create a KSAM file in several different ways:

  • Using the BUILD command. The file name and file characteristics are specified in the command parameters. The file can then be loaded with data by using the FCOPY subsystem to load existing file data or by directing program output to the file.

  • Copying an existing file using the FCOPY subsystem. File characteristics can be defaulted to those of the existing file or modified by using a file equation.

  • Using HPFOPEN or FOPEN intrinsic parameters from within an application program. The intrinsic call creates and opens the file. The program's output can then be written to the opened file.
