Use referbacks in your receiving steps (DSN=*.stepname.ddname) instead of temporary dataset names (DSN=&&name). They're a bit awkward, but eliminate the duplicate dataset name issue. Quoting the JCL Reference: "To ensure that a temporary data set name is unique, do not code a temporary data set name. Allow the system to assign one." -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
