I have been struggling with a way to use wildcards as a means of not having to know all dataset names that may be created within a day's time. I know you can use wildcards within a IDCAMS using the LISTCAT ENTRIES statement, but what I would really like is to be able to copy all the wildcard datasets to another single dataset for reporting type purposes. We have quite a few products on our mainframe, but I really don't know the best approach or software. Below is a brief example of what I want to accomplish.
All the datasets are - ORG of PS, RECFM = FB, LRECL = 133, BLKSIZE = 5985 DISK.TEST.DATASETA DISK.TEST.DATASETB DISK.TEST.DATASETC Hopefully use wildcard of DISK.TEST.** to pick up ALL datasets and then copy to any other name I choose - DISK.BACKUP.DATASETS. Then using that dataset to print out a single report in a viewable format. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
