I guess my question is how is to be processed? Do you need the filename the record came from
Do you just need go through all the files looking for something specific? Are these files GDGs or does the name vary or is there a common mask Depending on the answers, you could look at using a utility (like DFSORT) to grab what you need You could create a do loop in REXX to read your datasets by Mask - then pass to your process Many options could be available depending on what the intent of this process is, and what kind of data is being passed Lizzette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Joseph Reichman Sent: Thursday, October 1, 2020 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SVC 99 unallocating a concatenated dataset Not familiar with BPXDYN In light of this I think I’m going to re-phrase My question I have to process ( read ) 4,471 Files with a 100 file concatenation limit What would be the best method ?
