Unless you were really storage constrained, you started a writer and left it running untill the next IPL. Also, MVT had something called an ASB Reader, which ran at high speed in a small region, then ran a reader/interpreter from the DASD file it created.

Right! I remember that. I remember that was how you ran anything. You started a real reader: it fired up the 2540 and read in the job. And then you did a S WTR (?) to print the output. OS/360 on a 360/40. Sometimes nostalgia actually is the answer.

Hi Charles, All of the previous responses did not address your situation. Here is a solution that only old-timers like myself would think of: S RDR,DSN=mypds(mymember),UNIT=,VOL=,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=27920),DISP=SHR RDR is available in SYs1.PROCLIB and has been since dinosaurs roamed the earth.
