Greatly simplified, image a SMF 30:4's information about the DDs in a step. There are multiple DDs and could be multiple DSNs on multiple volumes. //INFILE DD DSN=FILE1,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=VOL001 // DD DSN=FILE2,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=(VOL002,VOL003) //OUTFILE DD DSN=FILE2,VOL=SER=VOL004 <STEP> <DDS> <DD> <DDSTMT> <NAME>INFILE</NAME> <CONCAT>1</CONCAT> <VOLUMES> <VOLUME> <VOLSER>VOL001</VOLSER> <UCB>2F37</UCB> </VOLUMES> </DDSTMT> <DDSTMT> <NAME>INFILE</NAME> </CONCAT>2</CONCAT> </VOLUMES> <VOLUME> <VOLSER>VOL002</VOLSER> <UCB>28B7</UCB> </VOLUME> <VOLUME> <VOLSER>VOL003</VOLSER> <UCB>2B73</UCB> </VOLUME> </VOLUMES> </DDSTMT> </DD> <DD> <DDSTMT> <NAME>OUTFILE</NAME> <VOLUMES> <VOLUME> <VOLSER>VOL004</VOLSER> <UCB>3B7C</UCB> </VOLUME> </VOLUMES> </DDSTMT> </DD> </DDS> </STEP> Looks horrible, but not that difficult to process using XML.
