<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">ILE COBOL READ statement</h4><ul><li>The PRIOR phrase and the LAST phrase are not supported by CICS/DDM when
accessing a VSAM path. It is supported when accessing a VSAM KSDS.</li>
<li>Because the RELATIVE file organization can only be used to open a VSAM
RRDS, it is not possible to access records by relative record number or to
have the relative record number returned from the remote file unless the remote
file is a VSAM RRDS.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">ILE COBOL WRITE statement</h4><ul><li>The WRITE statement does not work when the ILE COBOL program is running
on an <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server and the
file was opened with a RELATIVE file organization.</li>
<li>The WRITE statement does not work when writing a record to a VSAM KSDS
and the data set already contains a record with the same key value.</li>
<li>Because the input/output and output open modes cannot be used to open
a VSAM path, it is not possible to write records to a VSAM path. Instead,
the application program must write the record by using the base data set of
the VSAM path.</li>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">ILE COBOL REWRITE statement</h4><ul><li>The REWRITE statement does not work when rewriting the record of a VSAM
KSDS and the key value of the record is changed.</li>
<li>Because the input/output open mode cannot be used to open a VSAM path,
it is not possible to rewrite records in a VSAM path. Instead, the application
program must rewrite the record by using the base data set of the VSAM path.</li>

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">ILE COBOL DELETE statement</h4><ul><li>Because the sequential file organization must be used to open a VSAM ESDS,
it is not possible to delete records in a VSAM ESDS.</li>
<li>Because the input/output open mode cannot be used to open a VSAM path,
it is not possible to delete records in a VSAM path. Instead, the application
program must delete the record by using the base data set of the VSAM path.
However, if the base data set of the VSAM path is a VSAM ESDS, the DELETE
does not work.</li>
