double primary keys in indexed files

Hi,

we are currently migrating a big application from BS2000 mainframe to linux using MF Visual COBOL V9.

There are indexed data files that contain 2 identical data sentences (completely identical - indentical primary key aswell) in mainframe. Is there any chance in MF VC to use ISAM files with non unique primary keys?

Thanks in advance!

Paul

Can you please show me what your SELECT statement looks like?

Hi Chris,

the SELECT statement looks like this:

SELECT DAT
ASSIGN TO "$DAT"
ORGANIZATION IS INDEXED
RECORD KEY IS SORT-KEY
DUPLICATES.

Writing two identical scentences works in this case but reading is a problem.
