Can you explain exactly what you want to do ?
You can not have a PS inside of a PDS. |

Hi,
I have created a PDS folder called "HXSULL.TEST.LOAD.CARDS".
i want to create sequential files in this folder using JCL.
HXSULL.TEST.LOAD.CARDS will be having files like AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD like that. |

| What i meant to say is, by running the JCL program i must be able to create multiple sequential files like (AA,BB,CC) in that PDS folder. |

Well, for this try -
| Code: |
//STEP003 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD *
/*
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=HXSULL.TEST.LOAD.CARDS(FIRST),DISP=SHR,
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* |
Repeat the step for other members.
Again, in this

why would you use such terms. "folder" is not in Mainfrmes's glossary, it's a WINDOWS term rather. "sequential files" do not "stays" in a PDS, they are "independent" - what is there inside the PDS is members & nothing else, just get them right. |

I remeber reading this in one of the manuals.

Hope I am not wrong. |

Aaru,
Which do you find easier to understand, members of a PDS or PS files of a PDS ? |

Without doubt, I would prefer mainframers to use "members of a PDS" instead of "PS files of a PDS ". |

Hi,
The way 'they' will be processed in any program (COBOL etc.) or by some utility is always "sequential"..so the manuals says..

Hello,
Members in a pds are not "actually sequential files". They are merely accessed sequentially by your program.
This is similar to reading a vsam file sequentially. The ability to read sequentially does not make the vsam file a sequential file - it only means the file supports sequential access . . . |
