diff bw vsam and normal flat file?

Answer Posted / muttaiah

Hi,

One difference is how we process the records.

In flat file we can process records only sequentially where
as in Vsam we can process sequentially(ESDS), random(KSDS)
or dynamic(RRDS).

That's why most of them prefer vsam. since we can access in
all modes.
