What happened when you tried a simple little test run?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Re: can Easytrieve handle PDS ?
Look at your manual. Unless there is a recent addition...
It is going to "process" a PDS like a Cobol program would. It'll just read the directory records.
Unload your PDS to a "flat" file and process that.

Hello,
If you hasve a DD statement that points to a particular member, Easytrieve will read it as though it was a sequential file.
If you want to read 3 members as a single input, concatenate 3 DD statements of one member each.
If you want to do something else, you need to clearly post what you want to accomplish.
No.when I give PDS as input will it process each member in it ?
