Dynamic datasets in JCL

tfinlay · New User Joined: 17 May 2006 Posts: 1

Hello.

I have a program (SQR) on DB2 that will be reading many lines of data, each line containing a unique id. I want this unique id to make up part of the dataset name (i.e. there will be one dataset for each line of data read). How do I do this in JCL, because at run time, I have no idea how many datasets will be created or what their names will be?

Thanks,
Tanya

should give an idea of how PUTENV could be called to allocate any number of files dynamically.
