Bob, If your intention is to read entire PDS (all the members) and write them to a sequential file then you can use good old program IEBPTPCH to print the members.

Other utilities like IBMs File Manager have much more robust capabilities in terms of member selection with wild card functionality and you can even perform updates ( change 'string 1' to 'string 2' ) (search for FCH in the manual for this) //******************************************************************* //* COPY ALL THE PDS MEMBERS THAT HAS "D" ANYWHERE IN THE NAME * //******************************************************************* //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=FILEMGR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //PDS DD DISP=SHR,DSN=KOLUSU.PLAY.PDS //DDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * $$FILEM DSC INPUT=PDS,MEMBER=*D* //* http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/fmnu1m00/2.3.4.11?

Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> Hi Folks, OK, it's only Wednesday, but.... Wouldn't it be nice if you could code: //SOMEDD DD DSN=SOME.PDS.DSN,DISP=SHR ...and it would read all the members in order? Maybe even any order you specify? Maybe (ducking!) like it works with GDGs when you specify the base only? Am I crazy before Friday? Thanks!
