Environment Variables
The following environment variable has been added in this release:
- strictvsam
- strictvsam enables strict mainframe emulation when processing VSAM files.
- When set to ON and running under mainframe emulation, file status 37 is returned for an existing VSAM file when opened for OUTPUT if the file has data or previously had data written to it, or if the file is of a different format to the file on disk. When set to OFF, file status 0 is returned and a new file is created when an existing VSAM file is opened for OUTPUT. This variable is set to OFF by default.
