It would be useful if JCL supported coding "LABEL=(+1,SL)" to indicate one more than the last data set previously processed, or even "LABEL=(*.stepname.ddname+/-n,SL)". Even better if it worked when an intervening step was skipped by "COND=". BTDT. That's why I generate such JCL with Rexx -- I can omit a step and the remainder adjust. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
