My requirement is to open a file which is coded in the format:
(Userid).TEST.TEMP(-n). Where n can vary from 0 to any number.
Can we accomplish this task thru REXX or TSO cmd? |

Hello,
I believe you need to first convert your "relative" generation to the absolute dataset name (Userid.TEST.TEMP.GnnnnVnn) and open that. |

Yep.
REXX reads only from DD names. If you run the REXX in batch, you can define the DD and GDG in your JCL, and then read from it or write to it with EXECIO.
A referral to a GDG by relative generation number is strictly a JCL construct. |

You can do it inside the rexx program thru the LISTCAT tso command and put the result in a stem, after this you can get the name of your dataset name and then allocate it thru the ALLOCATE command.
