I tested this solution and passed it to other programmers. I changed it as follows: OUTDSN,'UMSDEV.QA04.CPRSFULL.OUT' * SET OUTPARMS TO THE UNIT, SPACE AND DISP PARAMETERS YOU * WANT FOR EACH OUTPUT DATA SET. OUTPARM1,'UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=DBS504,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)' OUTPARM2,'AVGREC=U,SPACE=(111,(100000))'
The space allows each of us to make minimal changes - just the record size. The OUTDSN allows the output to be cataloged (Frank had &&OUT here, which was fine for testing). And I also added an IEFBR14 to the envelope JCL with a slew of IEFBR14 deletes: //SPLITFL DD DSN=UMSDEV.QA04.CPRSFULL.OUT001, // DISP=(MOD,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,0) //SPLITFL DD DSN=UMSDEV.QA04.CPRSFULL.OUT002, // DISP=(MOD,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,0) ... I thought about including this in the created JCL - but I don't want to delete the exact number being recreated - it would be confusing to have an older OUT015 after a new OUT014 file. So let's delete every version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
