Hi All,
I write a rexx code which read the member from sequential dataset and read another PDS and if the readed member is present in the PDS. It copy the member in another PDS.
But the rexx code is working fine till it finds any duplicate member, that is If the member is already present in copy pds and it trying to copy again then my REXX code is terminated at that time and didd't run further.

Below is ny rexx code

Select all

 "ALLOC F(INFILE) DSN('VM.LAT.D10A.DETAILS.SE.ASM1')SHR REUSE"           
  "EXECIO * DISKR INFILE( FINIS STEM MYFILE."                             
  "FREE F(INFILE)"                                                        
  Address 'ISPEXEC'                                                       
  ARG INDD OUTDD NFLAG                                                    
  UPPER INDD OUTDD NFLAG                                                  
  OUTDD =""VM.LAT.D10A010.PF.PARMLIB.V1.ASM""                             
  INDD =""VM.LAT.D10A010.PC.PARMLIB""                                     
  ADDRESS 'TSO'"ALLOC DA("OUTDD")NEW LIKE("INDD")"                        
    DO I = 1 TO MYFILE.0                                                  
       MEMBER  = STRIP(SUBSTR(MYFILE.I,38,10))                            
      LOOKFOR = "'TS.PAFK.VM.LAT.D10A010.PC.PARMLIB("MEMBER")'"             
    X = SYSDSN(LOOKFOR)                                                   
    IF X = 'OK' THEN DO                                                   
     "LMINIT DATAID("DATA1")DATASET("INDD")ENQ(SHR)"                     
     "LMINIT DATAID("DATA2")DATASET("OUTDD")ENQ(SHR)"                    
     "LMCOPY FROMID("DATA1")FROMMEM("MEMBER")TODATAID("DATA2")"          
   END                                                                   
   ELSE                                                                  
   do                                                                    
      NOP                                                                
   END                                                                   
   END                                                                   
  EXIT                           
 

Note :I am trying using LMCOPY

Don't use Rexx; instead, write a simple IEBCOPY job.

Job list is present in sequntial dataset , so first I need to read the dataset sequentailly to get the Job name.
That's why I am using rexx.

What did your trace show you? Why have you not included it (or the relevant part(s) of it)?

These 2 lines are rubbish:

Select all

OUTDD =""VM.LAT.D10A010.PF.PARMLIB.V1.ASM""                            
INDD =""VM.LAT.D10A010.PC.PARMLIB""

What are you trying to achieve with them?

What "job list"?

job member name is readed by the sequntial datset will going to searched in input dataset INDD =""VM.LAT.D10A010.PC.PARMLIB"" and if it is found the member in that dataset. It will copy the member into output dataset VM.LAT.D10A010.PF.PARMLIB.V1.ASM.

So "job list" is actually irrelevant; it doesn't matter what the members of the PDS contain :roll:

May I suggest that you read the manual, LMCOPY has a REPLACE option.

yes joblist is nothing just a sequential dataset which having data( data is member name).

Please study your post (and probaby code) carefully and also understand quoting of data set names: ""dataset.name"" is invalid, "dataset.name" or 'dataset.name' is valid. "'dataset.name'" and '"dataset,name"' are valid rexx quoting. If you have it quoted properly in your code then why is it not so in your post? You DID cut and paste, didn't you?

And where is your trace output?

I would also look at the list of related topics at the bottom of the page. The first looks as though it may be trying to do the same thing as you.
