I think you need to put the VAT data into a KSDS since you don't have a DBMS.
If you are really interested in CICS performance...and who isn't?...you could also define a CICS data table to hold the data. If you make this a User-Maintained Table so that it is not updated dynamically, then you could read the KSDS from Batch as well. IMHO, making the VAT data JCL paramaters is not much better than hard-coding it in a module. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
