Separate the JCL into a prefix member and a suffix member, then write a job to copy a concatenation of the pieces to the Internal Reader.
But if you don't need to do symbol substitution then you can just change your job to use DSN= instead of * or DATA. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

The data is too large to copy into the JCL. During the copy he gets several E37s and then ends with a B37. It appears to me that he runs out of space in that PDS. The data that needs to be included is a flat file and not a PDS, which seems to rule out the // INCULDE statement. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Mainline’s positions or opinions Mark D Pace Senior Systems Engineer Mainline Information Systems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
