Pushpa, I created a PS with FBA and put some recs in and
ran the same above JCL. To me it worked. Have u checked
what error u r getting. Try the below stuff with SORT util.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=SORT
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SORTIN DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
SORT FIELDS=COPY,STOPAFT=0

Answer / bill cecchini

Use the dataset itself to get the required DCB attributes.

//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY,DCB=USERID.DATASET
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

Hi, try this out

Option 1: Use IEBGENER Utility
//DELJOB JOB ..........
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD *
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=USERID.DATASET,DISP=SHR

Answer / ram g

it will work with iebgener also ..create a dummy file with
fba format and use in your utility jcl

Why are you wasting your time and CPU time ... just open

record ... it will empty the file.. Cheers..

Answer / pushpa

Yes we can do it by using the IEBGENER utility.

I have a question here By using the IEBGENER Utility I was
able to do this only for PS with RECFM =VB , but its not
working for PS with RECFM = FBA.

Is there any specific reason for this.

Please Clarify.

Answer / garry

Try This :

//JOBCARD
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFRBR14
//DD1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE)
May need to code DCB and SPACE parameter.
//DD2 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG)
MUST need to code DCB and SPACE parameter.
//

Ply respond with YES or NO.

Thanks

Garry

What is Automatic Restart ? EXEC PGM = PROG1, RD = R (Is it the Restart of a JOBSTEP or Restarting the execution of the program?)
