Hi,

We can map a dataset with the corresponding copybook using the Fileaid Option. H.1(map with View option)

Please let me know if i got it right.

Thanks,
sree

I'm sorry, I was referring to Rexx. I want to write a program using Rexx which can read a dataset using copy book.

Could you please help me.

I appreciate any help.

Thank you

Copybook is a COBOL term. There is no such term (nor an equivalent) in REXX.
PARSE might be a good candidate for a REXX statement when reading records sequentially.
