Copy names of PS files to a single PS file.

Postby abyvarghes » Thu Dec 05, 2013 8:51 pm

Hi All,

May I know how can I copy JUST name of PS files (around 365) to another PS files. Just names needed not the content required.

Eg: We have PS files like
SYSD.SYSLOG.SP2.Dmmddyy , if generic SYSD.SYSLOG.SP2.D*13
So I wan to copy just name of all daily SYSLOG (for year 2013) to another PS file.

So if I goto 3.4 Option and list SYSD.SYSLOG.SP2.D*13 , it will out put all the SYSLOG files for year 2013. I need to copy this out put (only name) to another PS files usning JCL or any other technique (REXX).

Can some one help me on this.

Thanks,
Aby

does not work for me - maybe a customised help panel. However selecting option 6 from the Help item on the action bar then Index then S2 does work
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Hello,

When the dataset list is displayed, type SAVE MYFILES in the command area. A file with your_id.MYFILES.DATASETS will be created with the contents of the list.
Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot dick scherrer ;

It works !! .
But its copy the Data set property also to the PS file. Any way to just copy only the dataset name ?

Why not just edit the file or copy the relevant columns to another file? Did you actually look at the help? Probably not as you only replied to Dick who told you how to do it instead of pointing you in the right direction where you could LEARN how to do it.

Hi Nic,

Yup, i gave the "how to" literally as when the "direction" was mentioned earlier, it seemed to be misunderstood . . .
as in:

Hi Nic,

The actual out put looks something like this. Filtering the data set name again from that with column is bit tricky for me. The input from Dick was very clear and worked for me.But the out put was not exactly what I was looking for but fare enough for me.
And I was asking for any more tips to do what exactly I want (only SYSD.DAILY.SYSLOG.D*) .

Thanks,
Aby

Hello,

to do what exactly I want (only SYSD.DAILY.SYSLOG.D*) .
I don't understand the question. I used a very similar "mask" and got the only the desired datasets.

Does the command fail or present the wrong "answer"?
Hope this helps,

I think heesh wants only the DSNs.

Aby-kun, it should be a trivial task for anyone with a modest ability in Rexx to whip up a scriptette to process this output. Surely you have such a person in your shop.
