A PDS dataset can be defined as a GDG. How do you code the JCL to READ a member of the GDG in?

Something like:
DSN=HLQ.AAAA.BBBB.CCCC(0)(MEMNAME)
does not work

I believe that you have to fully-qualify the dataset

DSN=HLQ.AAAA.BBBB.CCCC.G0000V00(MEMNAME)

That's was I was afraid of. I'll just use a utility to extract the information from the member in a separate step and pass the data.

Thanks for the quick reply...
