There are several methods. Probably the most common is IEBGENER.
//        EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  -- Input "flat" dataset --
//SYSUT1   DD  -- Output PDS member, DSN=PDSDS(MEMBER) --
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY
You must take care that the dataset attributes of the PDS match the "flat" dataset. If you don't match these attributes you will most likely render the other members of the PDS unreadable.

show the jcl used to create the sequential dataset...
and a sample of the output produced
the format depends on the control statements used
so until we know we cannot help
cheers

Oh, you want to take the SYSUT2 output from IEBPTPCH and use it to recreate the source PDS. Mail me a certified check for $10,000 from a US bank and I'll send you a program that will do just that. (I don't expect to get the check, and that will be the end of this topic!)

Hello,

Thanks for replying for my query. I didn't get clear solution.
Then you did not look at the solution Steve provided. . .

Have you "cloned" the JCL from Steve and used your dataset names rather than the examples? If not, why not :?

Do this now and let us know what happens. DO NOT run your first test mucking about with the "real" pds - make a copy for testing.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

Dick - In their second post the TS clarified how the input was created. My initial solution won't work, though an IEBGENER solution using SYSIN controls to edit the IEBPTPCH output might work. Another solution would be to write a program or Rexx exec to extract the member name from the IEBPTPCH output, create IEBUPDTE ./ ADD NAME=xxx statements followed by the member data, and then feed that output into IEBUPDTE. My program (yes, it already exists; I wrote it in 2010 after a similar query here or MVSHELP.NET just before it died as practice) creates the PDS directly using WRITE/CHECK/STOW macros, but other than the direct PDS manipulation, it does the same analysis of the IEBPTPCH output that I just proposed. My program is moderately large (953 Assembler lines) by the standards of this site, but it is fully documented and there are other goodies in the program that some beginners might appreciate.
