Hi,
You can do that using Rexx.
Thanks

I am not familiar to REXX.
Can we do it using JCL? |

You could:
1. Use IEBGENER/DFSORT/ICETOOL to copy each of the 10 members into one single sequential dataset (DISP=MOD, of course), and then copy that dataset into the one member.
2. You could use IEBPTPCH to "PUNCH" the PDS into a single sequential dataset, clean up the output with DFSORT, and then use IEBUPDTE to create the new member.
3. You could do this programatically as mentioned above, using REXX, or using ISPF Library Management (LM) services in any program.
4. I'll bet its doable using SAS.
5. Or, just use EDIT. |

Hi,
1. If we use IEBGENER we have to give PDS name and its member name,
I have to merge all the members of that PDS into a single member so is
it possible by giving a PDS name only?
2. Can we avoid use of sequential dataset? |

No, not that I can see.

Yes. I thought there might be an issue with contention, but it looks like the input and output can be to the same PDS with DISP=SHR. |
