Allow me to explain a few more details. I want to use TK4-, so the only COBOL compiler legally available is the MVT one. I honor Jay Moseley's work to enable using VSAM through API calls from that old compiler, but I don¡¯t wanna take this extra step in learning.
The MVT COBOL and PL/1 compilers both support ISAM without the need for an API.? ISAM can be easy to learn but has little or no utility support.? VSAM has IDCAMS which provides a lot of utility functions, such as PRINT or REPRO.
