Configuring access to sequential files
No modifications are needed to configure the SQL interface to access sequential files. However, you should verify access to sequential files. Optionally, you can specify the number of tracks to read ahead when reading sequential data sets for individual requests.

About this task
The SQL interface for sequential files provides seamless, real-time controlled access to sequential files. It allows ODBC, JDBC, Data Virtualization Manager client, and web clients to access sequential files in a relational model by using simple SQL-based queries. This interface can be used with traditional client/server applications, desktop productivity tools that use ODBC, JDBC, and two-tier and three-tier web implementations. Using the interface, applications can use standard ODBC or JDBC facilities to make SQL requests directly to native VSAM. The result is a relational result set, with no host programming required.
