I think that SDSF's REXX API and the ability to run your own rexx execs from the "NP" column would give you a very decent starting point to add this function.
As the format of the separator record would most likely be variable depending on the user or installation, this also nudges this requirement into the realm of the SDSF REXX interface IMHO. If this feature was ever considered for SDSF via RFE, I would expect it to be delivered as a sample SDSF REXX exec rather than as part of the builtin actions and commands.

EXTERNAL EMAIL Kirk - I know of no way to add a descriptor record separating each DD when extracting multiple DD's using SDSF to a single target dataset. That does look to be a useful feature - you should submit an RFE for it. Lionel B.

I'm sorry if I was not clear. I was looking for something that used standard SDSF commands and does not require that a client have some REXX code of any kind. It's more about the usage context rather than anything pejorative about REXX.
