http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?TSO-REXX what are the attributers? Lrecl, blksize, etc... Did you check the original PDS to see if that member was readable? Did it get an I/O Error? Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rob Schramm Sent: Monday, September 23, 2013 7:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Rexx question All, I was doing some rexx work in batch on z/OS... attempting to use "EXECIO * DISKR INPUTDD (Finis Stem in." "FREE F(INPUTDD)" Where the INPUTDD was //INPUTDD DD DSN=SOME.PDS(MEMBER) and the results were very strange (multiple lines concatenated, seemed to be picking up a prior member in the PDS, corrupted data). I ended up copying the PDS member to a sequential file and the problems went away. I have never had a problem reading a PDS member as a sequential file.. until this occurred. Is there some caveat to reading a PDS member as a sequential file? Is the exception documented? I have been to the manuals, google, various articles on REXX, tutorials etc.. and not found anything to match (even loosely) what was happening.
