Given a list of Datasets with varying length dsnames: ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1 ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2 ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1 ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2 I easily get: name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2 " name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP " name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1 " name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL " name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2 " But I want: name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC1" name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMAC2" name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD1" name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMMOD2" name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMPUT2" name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM1 " name="ZOS21D.ASM.AASMSAM2" name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNCMP" name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACCNSR1" name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL" name="ZOS21D.CBC.ACLBDLL2" So I guess I need to use Rexx, or some other language? SORT doesn't do variable length output fields?
