Can you run the shell script from JCL?
I should have made it clear I need to have the JCL generate the data set each
time it is run.
If I just wanted to do it one time, I would just use ISPF Edit:
1. NUM ON
2. type "Record"
3. Repeat 999
4. NUM OFF
5. Shift the sequence numbers
Meanwhile I completed the IEBDG, SORT solution:
IEBDG:
DSD OUTPUT=(SYSUT2)
CREATE QUANTITY=1000,FILL=' ',PICTURE=6,1,'Record'
END
SORT:
INREC OVERLAY=(8:SEQNUM,4,ZD)
SORT FIELDS=COPY

A shell solution:
#! /bin/sh +x
R=0
while R=$(( $R + 1 )); [ 10 -ge $R ]
do
echo "Record $R"
done
I'm confident you'll get alternatives in REXX and DFSORT.
