To retrieve record from flat file you can use IDCAMS utility with REPRO command and can copy the data into either a VSAM data set or another flat file

We can directly read a record from a flat file using Cobol READ command!

If you want to load the flat file into a PS file use REPRO command in IDCAMS Util.
If you want to load a flat file which was obtained by exporting a VSAM file using EXPORT command in IDCAMS, then use IMPORT command will help to restore datas along with retaining Catalog Info.
