I don't know a way to do it just with JCL, but a program can do it easily. You could have a program that accepted a PARM of the member name that you want. The program would open a PDS concatenation and get the member that you want, then copy it to a temporary data set that your other program read. Maybe you can find a utility that will do it for you. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
