Well, yes -- you read an alternate index through the path (in batch or CICS).
You haven't told us if you are attempting to read the alternate index in CICS or batch.
You haven't told us the JCL you are using that you say isn't working (if batch).
You haven't told us the COBOL code you are using that you say isn't working.
You haven't really told us what your problem is for sure -- if you are thinking your JCL should point to the AIX data set name and then you read the records, then your thinking is WRONG and you must start using the PATH to point to the alternate index.
