It is possible to process more than one data set as a single data set by concatenating the DD statements.
//QSAM0080 DD DSN=SIMOTIME.DATA.FILE0001,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SIMOTIME.DATA.FILE0002,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=SIMOTIME.DATA.FILE0003,DISP=SHR
The following is an example of a COBOL SELECT statement.
here the COBOL program will read QSAM0080 and the DD statements will map the three files (FILE0001, FILE0002 and FILE0003) as one file. The program's initial read will get the first record from FILE0001 and will not get an End-of-File condition until the last record of FILE0003 is processed.
