datasets.create for VSAM

[gngrossi]

Having an issue creating VSAM datasets. Attached is a file from the REPL.
Commands issued:

datasets.create(name=N1, type="KSDS", primary_space="1M", secondary_space="1M", block_size=4096, record_format="FB", record_length=80, key_length=4, key_offset=0)

datasets.create(name=N1, type="ESDS", primary_space="1M", secondary_space="1M", block_size=4096, record_format="FB", record_length=80)

datasets.create(name=N1, type="RRDS", primary_space="1M", secondary_space="1M", block_size=4096, record_format="FB", record_length=80)

ESDS, RRDS, LDS get defined but with an IndexError

datasets.create(name=N1, type="ESDS")

does not get defined with the

ZOAU_datasets.create.txt
IndexError
datasets.create(name=N1, type="KSDS")

thanks

So, to add some color to this problem. I'm having the same issue with the provided code. I modified the code to look like the following:

from zoautil_py import datasets
val = datasets._create(name="SYS1.MY.KSDS", type="KSDS", primary_space="1M", secondary_space="1M", block_size=4096, record_format="FB", record_length=80, key_length=4, key_offset=0, debug=True)
print(val.to_dict())

On my system, this resulted in:

{'rc': 4, 'stdout_response': '', 'stderr_response': 'BGYSC1402E Dynalloc Failure. Error Code: 0x9700, Information Code: 0x00\n', 'command': 'dtouch -d -tKSDS -s1M -e1M -B4096 -rFB -l80 -k4:0 SYS1.MY.KSDS'}

I then issued the raw command in the prompt adding the a and v options:
dtouch -dav -tKSDS -s1M -e1M -B4096 -rFB -l80 -k4:0 SYS1.MY.KSDS
which left me with this:

dtouch -dav -tKSDS -s1M -e1M -B4096 -rFB -l80 -k4:0 SYS1.MY.KSDS

 __rls:       ??
 __keyoffset: 0
 __keylength: 4
BGYSC1402E Dynalloc Failure. Error Code: 0x9700, Information Code: 0x00

Hope this helps someone troubleshoot.

It seems like the VSAM dataset support isn't quite there yet,, hopefully it will be soon.
Here's an example of what we use for IDCAMS statements for ESDS, RRDS, KSDS and LDS. Options SHR and CISIZE would need to be supported.

DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(@02858.T.SDT.DEMO.ESDS) -
RECORDSIZE(60 60) -
CYLINDERS (5 1) -
SHR (2 3) -
NONINDEXED ) -
DATA -
(NAME(@02858.T.SDT.DEMO.ESDS.D) -
CONTROLINTERVALSIZE (4096))

DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(@02858.T.SDT.DEMO.RRDS) -
RECORDSIZE(60 60) -
CYLINDERS (5 1) -
SHR (2 3) -
NUMBERED ) -
DATA -
(NAME(@02858.T.SDT.DEMO.RRDS.D) -
CONTROLINTERVALSIZE (4096))

DEFINE CLUSTER -
(NAME(CICS.T.SDT.DEMO.KSDS) -
KEYS (4 0) -
RECORDSIZE(60 60) -
CYLINDERS (5 1) -
SHR (2 3) -
INDEXED ) -
DATA -
(NAME(CICS.T.SDT.DEMO.KSDS.D) -
CONTROLINTERVALSIZE (4096)) -
INDEX -
(NAME(CICS.T.SDT.DEMO.KSDS.I) -
CONTROLINTERVALSIZE (2048))

DEFINE CLUSTER (NAME(CICS.T.SYS9.LDSS.ZZZ#01) -
CYL(2,1) -
SHAREOPTIONS(1,3) -
LINEAR)

thanks

any update on this topic? I saw only create dataset includes VSAM with ZOAU 1.2.x. Is there any update on reading VSAM dataset?
