2. If concatenated datasets are libraries and contain same
name members, the first one found will be used.

Answer / muttaiah

1) The dataset should be of same type meaning if you are
concatenating a PDS then other ds should be pds only & ps-
Ps)
2) They should have same format and LRECL
3) If the dataset's have diff blocksize then the dataset
with Largest block size should be coded first
4) All the datasets should reside on the same unit(device).
however the volume serial number can differ
5) we can concatenate 16 PDS & 255 PS files

if we have a job consist of two steps and each step calling a proc having 10 steps each then how many steps are counted only 2 or 22(10+10+1+1)? can we have more than 255 steps in a single job?
