Answer / mr. cooooool

Hi...........
We can do it as following.

//COOLJCL JOB NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS3,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS4,DISP=SHR
//* DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS5,DISP=SHR
//* DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS6,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS7,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS8,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS9,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=COOL.TOP.PS10,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=COOL.TOP.OUTPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY



We can give comments for 6th and 7th dd statement
through which we can concatenate the remaining files
except 5,6 file into the output file.


I know there is also some other logic
except this.
if anybody know than tell me.
thanks.

Answer / harsha

In addition to the above provided solutions, if user is
concatenating these files in a PROC then user can provide
the overriding parameter in JCL as
//STEP1 EXEC PROC1
//STEPA.DD1 DD DSN=DSN1,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN2,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN3,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN4,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN7,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN8,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN9,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=DSN10,DISP=SHR

Answer / rajamohan reddy

If your conactenating files in a proc. we can use the
following JCL
//INST PROC
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET1
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET2
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET3
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET4
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET5
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET6
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET7
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET8
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET9
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET10
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=*
//INST PEND
//*
//STEP2 EXEC INST
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//STEP1.SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET1
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET2
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET3
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET4
// DD
// DD
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET7
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET8
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET9
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DATASET10
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
