PAM Display SAM/ISAM File in PAM Format

PAM | NPAM  PAM Format/No PAM format.

PAM SAM/ISAM files are displayed in PAM format.

NPAM The PAM mode for displaying SAM/ISAM files is reset.

Standard: NPAM.

Note:

PAM files are always displayed in DL mode (Display Long).

Should the user only be intersted in a particular section of the records of a PAM file (for example, the first 80 bytes of each PAM block), then this can be achieved using a temporary sequential file. The PAM file should be converted to a SAM file whereby perhaps only the first n bytes of each PAM block is converted: ONXCONV ' '='.SAM',FCBTYPE=SAM [,LEN=n]

The SAM file created in this way can also be displayed by CFS in DS mode (Display Mode).
