ESETL—End sequential retrieval (QISAM)

The ESETL macro ends the sequential retrieval of data from an indexed sequential data set and causes the buffers associated with the specified data control block to be released. An ESETL macro must separate SETL macros issued for the same data control block.

Recommendation: Do not use the ESETL macro because it is a QISAM macro. Instead, use VSAM.

The format of the ESETL macro is:

dcb address—RX-Type Address, (2-12), or (1)

specifies the address of the data control block that is opened for the indexed sequential data set being processed.
