If for example I wanted to grab and access adabas files in a positional way, what would I need to do? I’m running adabas in a container and I want to study a way to enable access to files in positional format, is it possible? Can you help me with the step by step? ---

Can you please explain what you mean by “in a positional format” ? ---
