Datasets are concatenated by writing a normal DD statement
for the first dataset and then adding a DD statement without
a DDNAME for each dataset to be concatenated in the order
they are to be read. The following is an example of three
datasets concatenated:
//YEARDAT DD DSN=JAN.DATA,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=FEB.DATA,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=MAR.DATA,DISP=SHR

Answer / satyasivaji.ch
Datasets to be concatenated are to be included on the dd
statements in the following order,bigger size first and
lower size as soo on,and datasets to be of same type(means
ps to ps or pds to pds).Must be on same device like we can't
concatenate the datasets which resides on tape with disk,n
same size.etc are the rules to be followed wen we
concatenate the data sets

Example:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=PGM1
//DD1 DD DSN=TSTA.CHAN.PS1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN= TSTA.CHAN.PS2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN= TSTA.CHAN.PS3,DISP=SHR

Ques: How can we code COND parameter in a JCL so that only even steps (or only odd steps) get execute??
how do you create a dataset in a jcl with the same file organisation as that of another existing dataset?
In my job I have 6 steps. Step01,02,03...step06. after executing step02 i want to skip step03 and want to execute step04. and once step04 is done then I want to go back and execute step03. once step03 is completed I want execute step05, 06 and so on... can any one tell me how do i do that???
How to print data of sequential file to Spool..?
Hi, all suppose i have 5 steps (S1,S2,S3,S4,S5) what will happen if cond is true or false (which of the other steps get executed)? 1) //s3 exec pgm=abc,cond=(0,le) 2) //s3 exec pgm=abc,cond=(0,le,step2) 3) In the jobcord RESTART=step3,cond=(0,le) 4) can i code COND=TRUE in jobcard, if yes what will happen?
How many instream we can write in single jcl?
Is it possible to left uncode disp?
My JCL has 4 steps that execute PROC’s P1, P2, P3 and P4 as shown below //P1 EXEC PROC=P1 //P2 EXEC PROC=P2 //P3 EXEC PROC=P3 //P4 EXEC PROC=P4 There are four steps S1, S2, S3 and S4 in each PROC’s (i.e. P1, P2, P3 and P4) I want to execute only step S2 of PROC P2 and no other steps or PROC’s. How do you achieve this?
Explain how can the disposition of sysout datasets be set for an entire jobstream?
If a field is declared as a comp-3 field and if we want to sort a dataset based on this field, then how will the sort card be??? e.g- if we want to sort by a field which is defined as a PIC X(5) then we will mention - sort fields=(1,5,ch,a). Likewise if a field is defined as PIC S9(10)COMP-3 then in this case how will the sort field be defined (because in this case a sign is also involved)???
how do u define a file in cobol and jcl ?
what sort card you will use to copy the data from one dataset to another dataset?
COBOL
