You can cobble up something similar by using a pipe, eg: cat file1 file2 file3 | program Your program needs to be written to read from stdin, and process that as the input stream, but you don't get a symbolic name to refer to multiple streams of input or output. > What we'd like to do is run a job on zLinux that accesses multiple z/OS > datasets in one "file", as is done with the DDNAME concept with z/OS JCL. The above trick will work with NFS mounted data. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
