It's possible that records in some input data sets, identifiable by data set name, require a variation in processing, The technique Massimo wishes for spares him the need to know how many such data sets exist or in what order they appear.
Suppose I have a daily transaction log for each day in a month. I'd like to concatenate them and perform some analysis, but the processing for Sundays is slightly different. Having 31 DDNAMEs, of which the last (as many as 3) might be dummies may seem needlessly complex. It's a reasonable wish for an existing facility; perhaps not meriting an RfE. >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Massimo Biancucci >> Sent: Monday, September 14, 2015 4:15 AM >> >> is there any way to know which concatenated dataset I've read the current >> record >> from ? >> >> To be clear: >> >> FILE1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYDSN1 >> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYDSN2 >> DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MYDSN3 -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
