I need to create nearly 100 JCL files in order to DEL DEF VSAM files in a new CICS region duplicated from an old one.

The best way to avoid typo is to retrieve the VSAM file attributes from the existing VSAM files.

Hi Jacob,

I do not know how to do it with COBOL only.

But I think it is possible to use LISTCAT to collect VSAM file attributes. And your COBOL program can use it as an input to generate those VSAM delete / define parameter.
