Has anyone had any experience using DataStage to source data from BDAM files? Any recommendations on best way to access?

Hello gdheatley,

I think that BDAM & BSAM files need to be copied and read as simple sequential files without using any of the internal direct addressing modes. I vaguely recall having copied them on the host and then processed them through DataStage [but it's been a couple of years]...
