I have 2 PS files.

1. Keys file
2. PS file with number of PS files


1. Keys file




2. Another PS file with some information. say file2



My requirement is to take a PS dataset from the file2, search for the field3 from Keys file. If any of the key found in PS file taken from file2, write the dataset name on to file3 i.e. another ps file.

Please help me out in this...

Why is this being done in REXX, the IO overheads could be huge depending on the input file sizes.

Hello,

Can any one write a REXX program for me?

Many Can, but probably no one Will (Unless you are willing to pay to have this rexx written for you - as Steve mentioned).

We are to help people learn and get thru problems encountered.

We are a Help forum - not a "write it for me forum". We are also not a manual-reading service.

Suggest you consider the impact of using rexx. Depending on the number of records in the input files named in file 2, you have the potential of dimming the lights in the data center. . . How many "keys" is the max for file 1?

search for the field3 from Keys file. If any of the key found in PS file taken from file2,

Which one of your sample data fits the criteria?

A few questions:
-Are the files in which you are searching all the same records length and type?
-How large can the key file get?
-How large are the files listed in PS file 2?
-How many files can be listed in PS file 2?

I suspect that he has managed to do it by now - he has had 6 months and not come back once.

Why not lock (or better just delete) this thread?
