       Do until ds <> ' '                                     
         say ' Enter the dataset-name and member(enter EXIT to come out)'
         pull ds        /* to get the dataset name */         
         upper ds                                             
         if ds = 'EXIT' then                                 
            exit                                             
       end                                                   
       dd = strip(ds)                                         
       pds="'"||dd||"'"                                       
                                                             
       if sysdsn(pds) ¬= 'OK' then
