Are these datasets (or 'files' your calling) names the same or different each time when that jobs are running? If so, you need extra steps in that job(s) with REXX, for example, to do a listc (or something else like that which gives you all the LRECL for all of them) and parse out the list to copy all your datasets to a single pre-allocated PDS. You can also consider Gerhard Postpischil's suggestions too. >I wanted to minimise the clutter of files on a 3.4 list Why? Or is it rather a catalog management issue problem? Or RACF problem? Or perhaps you want to sort out your naming convention problem? >a) keep the list short I had the bright idea of stuffing the non 80's in a >single PDS; And if you want to extract them back to their own datasets, how are you going to do that?
