Hi, Thanks for the above. Could you please explain in detail as i am not able to get it.

Apologise for that, But i am under pressure to do so..

You need to prepar an outline/skeleton piece of JCL.


For each DD statement requiring updating, the markers need to be unique with respect to the actual value required for replacement. If you want the same group of vols, or same dsn, use the same for replacement. For different dsn/vols must be different. Note that all commas are correctly included in the original "text" where needed. All that is needed is to replace/swap the things within the delimiters.

Code your parameter file simply:


Is Sort the dicated requirement for the solution?

No Not neccessary.

Your skillset has rexx. You have much experience with that?

I am a learner in Rexx.

How to approach in REXX, Can some one help me pls

If you can program in another language then learning Rexx should not take long. The pseudo code will be the same but the coding will be done under the rules of Rexx. See the Rexx Language Reference. You will also need the manual for the rexx exrensions in TSO - eg EXECIO. You can also run rexx on your PC so you can practise at home out-of-hours.

vamsyk9,

Your approach is really "interesting" (read "silly"). You asked how to do this in DFSORT. I asked you to explain exactly what you want to do so I can help you with DFSORT. Instead of doing that, you're now looking to do it in REXX which you don't know well. If you can't define your requirement clearly, then I don't see how you will be able to do it in REXX rather than Sort. Seems to me your real problem is that you can't explain your requirement clearly and until you can do that, nothing else matters.
