There is a procedure in A.B.PROCS(PROC1) (member name is PROC1) //PROCA... There is a call to a procedure PROCA from a JOB. //STEP01 EXEC PROCA ... Here "PROCA" in JOB refers to the actual PROC name or the member name of the PDS where this PROCA is stored.

Merrill Lynch,

My requirement is : How to populate a empty PS/flat file with ONLY spaces in the first line. You should not use any input dataset to do this. I'm not sure whether you may use any utility for this purpose?

HCL,

How to identify where file is empty or not? How many ways are there to identifying?

CTS,

My JCL contains four steps //STP1 A(+1), DISP = NEW //STP2 A(+2), DISP = NEW //STP3 A(+3), DISP = NEW //STP4 A(+1), DISP = OLD STP3 was abended and I want restart my JCL from STP3 onwards & what are the precaution I want to take & what are the changes I need to make. Pls let me know.

CTS,

I've one sequential file, That file contains millians of Junk & CHAR recoreds example File 1 ,,,,,...,,,.....,.,.INFOSYS.....,,,,,,,,,,,WIPRO..........., ,...,..,.

Please provide the result as soon as possible.

CTS,

If i have defined an temperory dataset in step2, how can i call back or use the same dataset in step5 of the same job

UST,

if my GDG limit has been kept as 50 and if am trying to put 60 records.what would happen. will there be any abend for this scenario

Suppose your program is reading a Sequential Vsam file. The file contains 10 records. How will you code the JCL to read only 2nd, 5th, 7th,and 10th record?

Thomson,

I've one sequential file, that file size is LREC=100 (File contain Records like 1 to 100). Now I was increase the file size is LREC=102. My question is I want insert 00 (Two Zeros) in to the new file (That output file looks like : 00123 up to 100). How will write the SORT card in JCL. Please let me know.

Syntel,

IBM,

Hi, I have 3 files say file A , file B and file C.I want to form an output file in which i will have all the records from file A. Files B and C also may contain records that are present in file A.I want those records also to be included in my output file. for eg: file A contains: 1 2 3 file B contains: 2 4 5 file C contains: 1 3 5 So in my output file should look like: 1 2 3 2 1 3 Can any one help ???.....thanks in advance.

//ERFDS JOB //STEP1 //STEP2 //STEP3...COND=(4,LT) //STEP4 1.CONDITION IN STEP3 REFERS TO WHICH STEP'S RETURN CODE (STEP1 OR STEP2)? 2.IN ABOVE PROGRAM IF CONDITION SATISFIES IN STEP3 WHICH STEPS WILL EXECUTE?? AND WHY? IF CONDITION IN STEP3 SATISFIES

IBM,

if we give two job cards in a single what happens
