I have had great suggestions so far, but I have tried DFDSS and FDR and not gotten results I was looking for. Might not be using the parameters correctly. I think I will detail this more on my wishes and the collective group can offer more ideas. We have an automated scheduler software on our mainframe called Control-M that will copy a jcl sysout to a file on whichever jobs we choose. Those are the datasets in the format shown below that I wish to create a single report from. Organization . . . : PS Record format . . . : FB Record length . . . : 133 Block size . . . . : 5985 When I use DFDSS or FDR the dataset I try and create for printing comes up in either a VBA or U format. And I am not strong enough with sort or some other method to create the report. I really don't care about creating a dataset at all, if I can simply print the incoming datasets from the wildcard list. Below is an example of one of the datasets sysouts and I would like to keep that intact. This is not a completed sysout example, but wanted to save lines.
