    What would you like to be able to do via batch Interface?

      • do you want to be able to add and delete JSON records via the batch interface as well?

      • If so, are you looking for a utility to do an initial load of large quantities of data into the VSAMDB data set or

      • a utility to add individual records into a VSAMDB data set that already contains records or

      • both?
