This parameter defines the position of the key relative to zero. This is only used for VSAM KSDS files, and is ignored for other VSAM file types. This field is used only when creating a VSAM file. If this field is not defined, the key position of the source file is used.
Note: This field is a displacement. Therefore, for a key in the first byte of a record, the
VSAM_KEYPOS parameter must be defined as
0.
