  2. (2) only b is correct

  3. (3) Both a and b are correct

  4. (4) None of them are correct

  1. (1) Extensive Line Processing Area

  2. (2) Extensive Link Pack Area

  3. (3) Extended Link Pack Area

  4. (4) Elusive Line Processing Area


Correct Option: C

Which one of the following is false about CISZ

  1. (1) Smaller CISZ results in faster retrieval for random processing

  2. (2) Larger CISZ results in faster retrieval for sequential processing

  3. (3) CISZ stands for Control interval size

  4. (4) CISZ should be constant for sequential files


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of CISZ (Control Interval Size) and its relationship with random and sequential processing.

Option A) (1) Smaller CISZ results in faster retrieval for random processing - This option is correct. In random processing, smaller CISZ allows for faster retrieval because it reduces the amount of data that needs to be read to locate a specific record.

Option B) (2) Larger CISZ results in faster retrieval for sequential processing - This option is correct. In sequential processing, larger CISZ results in faster retrieval because it reduces the number of control intervals that need to be accessed, improving the efficiency of reading records sequentially.

Option C) (3) CISZ stands for Control interval size - This option is correct. CISZ stands for Control Interval Size, which refers to the number of records stored in a control interval in a direct access storage device.

Option D) (4) CISZ should be constant for sequential files - This option is incorrect. CISZ can vary for sequential files. It is generally recommended to have a constant CISZ for random processing to optimize retrieval speed, but for sequential processing, the CISZ can be varied based on factors such as the size of the records and the specific requirements of the application.

The correct answer is D) (4) CISZ should be constant for sequential files. This option is false because CISZ can vary for sequential files.

In general which of following type of access is least efficient in VSAM

  1. (1) Sequential Access

  2. (2) Random Access

  3. (3) Dynamic Access

  4. (4) Depends on the datat in the file


Correct Option: B

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the different types of access methods in VSAM and their efficiency.

Option A) Sequential Access - This option is incorrect. Sequential access is an efficient access method in VSAM because it allows for sequential reading or writing of records in the order they are stored in the file.

Option B) Random Access - This option is correct. Random access in VSAM involves directly accessing a specific record using an index or key. This type of access requires additional processing time to locate the desired record, making it less efficient compared to sequential access.

Option C) Dynamic Access - This option is incorrect. Dynamic access is a combination of sequential and random access, allowing for both sequential and direct access to records. It is an efficient access method as it provides flexibility in accessing the data.

Option D) Depends on the data in the file - This option is incorrect. The efficiency of access in VSAM does not solely depend on the data in the file. It depends on the access method used, as discussed in options A, B, and C.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B) Random Access. Random access is the least efficient access method in VSAM due to the additional processing time required to locate specific records.

When using binary (COMP) data items, the use of the SYNCHRONIZED clause specifies that

  1. (1) The binary data items will be properly aligned only on halfword boundaries.

  2. (2) The binary data items will be properly aligned only on fullword boundaries.

  3. (3) The binary data items will be properly aligned only on doubleword boundaries.

  4. (4) The binary data items will be properly aligned on halfword, fullword, or doubleword boundaries.


Correct Option: D
  1. (1) 1% slower than,38% slower

  2. (2) 10% slower than,4% slower

  3. (3) 1% faster than,38% faster

  4. (4) 10% faster than,4% faster


Correct Option: A

In terms of Performance considerations for PACKED-DECIMAL,the following statement is true.....

  1. (1) Using an odd number of digits is 10% to 30% slower than using an even number of digits

  2. (2) Using an even number of digits is 10% to 30% faster than using an odd number of digits

  3. (3) Using an odd number of digits is 5% to 20% slower than using an even number of digits

  4. (4) Using an odd number of digits is 5% to 20% faster than using an even number of digits


Correct Option: D

The ARITH(EXTEND) compiler option allows you to control the maximum number of digits is ----?

  1. (1) 40

  2. (2) 45

  3. (3) 31

  4. (4) 18


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose of the ARITH(EXTEND) compiler option and how it affects the maximum number of digits.

The ARITH(EXTEND) compiler option is used to enable extended arithmetic in programs. When this option is specified, the compiler allows calculations with larger numbers and a greater number of digits.

Now, let's go through each option to understand which one is correct:

Option A) (1) 40 - This option is incorrect because it specifies that the maximum number of digits is 40, which is not correct according to the given information.

Option B) (2) 45 - This option is incorrect because it specifies that the maximum number of digits is 45, which is not correct according to the given information.

Option C) (3) 31 - This option is correct because it specifies that the maximum number of digits is 31, which aligns with the given correct answer.

Option D) (4) 18 - This option is incorrect because it specifies that the maximum number of digits is 18, which is not correct according to the given information.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C) (3) 31. This option is correct because it correctly specifies the maximum number of digits allowed when the ARITH(EXTEND) compiler option is used.

The ARITH(COMPAT) compiler option allows you to control the maximum number of digits is-----?

  1. (1) 40

  2. (2) 45

  3. (3) 31

  4. (4) 18


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose and functionality of the ARITH(COMPAT) compiler option.

The ARITH(COMPAT) compiler option is used to control the maximum number of digits allowed in arithmetic calculations in a program. It ensures compatibility with older versions of the programming language.

Now let's go through each option to determine the correct answer:

Option A) (1) 40 - This option is incorrect because it does not match the correct answer given.

Option B) (2) 45 - This option is incorrect because it does not match the correct answer given.

Option C) (3) 31 - This option is incorrect because it does not match the correct answer given.

Option D) (4) 18 - This option is correct because it matches the correct answer given. The ARITH(COMPAT) compiler option allows you to control the maximum number of digits to 18.

Therefore, the correct answer is D) (4) 18.
