Application programs running in CM or NM can access either
CM KSAM or KSAM XL/64 files. If you are using an RPG application,
do not specify any record locking features. RPG will default to
file-level locking. This is especially important for cross-development
for multiple environments.
In some organizations, cross development is necessary because
satellite offices operate different types of systems. CM KSAM files
can be used on both MPE V/E and MPE/iX systems. The KSAM XL/64 file
format can be used only on MPE/iX systems.
KSAM files can be copied from one type to another using the
FCOPY utility. For detailed information on using the FCOPY utility,
refer to the FCOPY Reference Manual.
To create a new CM KSAM file and copy data to it from an existing
CM KSAM file , remember to identify both the data file and the key
file for the target CM KSAM file. Use this method to back up current
files or to create test files on an MPE V/E system. This process
is described in detail in the KSAM/3000 Reference Manual.

>EXIT
To create a new KSAM XL/64 file and copy data to it from a CM KSAM file,
specify only a single file name in the TO= parameter. (KSAM XL/64
files include indexes and data records in a single file.) Enclose the new file
name in parentheses to indicate that it is to be a KSAM XL/64 file. The
;NEW parameter is optional. Use this method to migrate files from an
MPE V/E system to an MPE/iX system.

or
:FCOPY
>FROM=ARMSTR.MGR.AR;TO=(ARMSTR2.MGR.AR);NEW
To copy from one KSAM XL/64 file to another existing KSAM
XL/64 file, enter a single file name for the target file. (KSAM
XL/64 files include indexes and data records in a single file.)
Use this type of copy to back up current KSAM XL/64 files or to
create a test file on an MPE/iX system.
:FCOPY
>FROM=ARMSTR.MGR.AR;TO=ARBACK.MGR.AR
>EXIT
To create a new CM KSAM file and copy data to it from an existing
KSAM XL/64 file, remember that both the target data file name and
the target key file name must be specified. Use this type of copy
for cross-development.
