PDS/PDSE members from within COBOL in a loop:
:>The only solution other then COBOL driver that I could consider is
if it could be done from within the SORT utility (as the driver)
because of its ubiquity, but I could not figure out whether and how
it could be done.
Use a utility (IEBPTPCH, for one) that will dump the PDS into a flat file.
If all you want is the list of member names from a single PDS(E) (and
will then read the members one by one) you can use ISPF to get a list
of the member names and then feed the listing as a file into your
program. You do a manual directory list and save the listing which is
then referenced in your JCL. I am assuming that your COBOL program
has the ability to open the PDF(E) one member at a time for
processing.
