Hi all,

I want a jcl to search in pds wehter the search string is a member of that pds or not.

as there is a big list so F search option is not sounding good.

i have a jcl which works like 3.14 but that searches with in member. but i want to just compare mamber name.

This has been discussed at least once before, comparing member names. Please search the forum.

Here is one previous topic on the same subject.

What I want IS:

I have a list of some 1000 members and I want to search all of them in a PDS at one shot and not firstly searching one then second and so on.

Tell me if you already given resolution to same problem and I was not able to understand you? Apology for the same.

Now I am thinking of building a tool which will
- take a list of members
- compare them with all the member in specified PDS
- output all which are in PDS but not in input member list.

so
input - member list
- PDS to be searched.
Output - all the member present in PDS but not in member list.

Take a look at THIS previous thread for some hints using a REXX solution.
