List of dataset names as dd input
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 11:43 pm
Hi,
I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to use a dataset that contains the names of multiple other datasets as an input for a dd statement. As a simple example I have a dataset that contains a list of 2000 other dataset names that I want to use as input list for a job that merges all the contents of the 2000 datasets into 1. I can do it with with third party scheduling and automation products and with rexx but I want to know if anyone knows of a way to do it with standard ibm utilities or general jcl?
Regards,
Me
