I am using syncsort to search for records So let’s say I concatenate 100 files
And the data I’m looking for is let’s say in the 50 th file To get The dataset name of the 50 th file I could do RDJFCB for the dcb with exlst type X’07’ and the dataset name that I’m currently processing would be in the jfcb area. However in this case you or rather syncsort has the dcb Is there anyway the exit and I am using E15 To tell me the dataset name currently being processed by the exit Thanks > On Sep 11, 2020, at 2:06 PM, Christopher Y.
