Learn more about a new enhancement in VSAM, called VSAMDB, which provides a NoSQL document store for z/OS using VSAM data sets.   This new function leverages VSAM KSDS functionality and allows for storing large BSON/JSON (UTF-8) objects into VSAM data sets using traditional direct and sequential access to the VSAMDB file. Additional enhancements were made to alternate index processing to allow for faster queries. Because this functionality uses VSAM RLS, SYSPLEX data sharing is provided as well.-Terri Menendez-IBM Corporation
