I have a REXX EXEC named ZOOM. While in edit mode type in ZOOM and put the cursor on the DD name (in the example anywhere under the name PARMS) and hit enter. Then it will display the member where it is found. When you end out of that member it continues the search.
I am not sure who the author was , but it has been around for some time. Let me know if you would like a copy.

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 *** Disclaimer *** This communication (including all attachments) is solely for the use of the person to whom it is addressed and is a confidential AAA communication.
