MX 7 VSAM Gateway?

[Brad]

Hello,
Does anyone know if there are any examples of creating a MX 7 gateway to
VSAM files on a mainframe? Thanks for any info.

Do you mean an ODBC connection instead of an Event Gateway?

Well, I want to determine the best way to establish a connection to VSAM
files located on our mainframe. It sounded like the gateway functionality
in MX 7 would allow for this. Here's hoping. Thanks for any info.

As far as I know, the Gateways communicate via messages. Clearly the IM and
SMS worlds are ready to send or receive messages. VSAM is a file format,
like Microsoft Excel is file format. Do you have something else on your
mainframe that is reading or writing messages?

If you want to read a VSAM file on your mainframe, then the ODBC connection
is your answer. If you want to insert (change or delete) a record in a VSAM
file, then you want the ODBC connection.
