Phase 6: Implement CDAM Direct Write

In this phase we will discuss the CDAM Direct Write facility and define what is required to implement this facility. We will examine the options you have for creating report output when using Control-D and detail how the Compressed Dataset Access Method (CDAM) works.

This phase details the CDAM requirements from an implementation point of view. For further detailed information about the Compressed Dataset Access Method and its parameters, see the CDAM chapter in the Control-D and Control-V User Guide.

Some of the questions we will be answering in this phase are:

• What is CDAM?
• How does CDAM work?
• What options do I have to create report output?
• How do I implement the CDAM Direct Write option?
