Hi,

I am using 3.14 option in Batch mode. I have list of 100 procs to be searched in JCLLIB pds. I.e. I want to get list of Jobs which are executing these procs. My list is there in a file like below.
proc001
proc002
proc003
-----
-----
proc100

Now I want to get my list as below
srchfor 'proc001'
srchfor 'proc002'
scrchfor 'proc003'
-------------------
-------------------
srchfor 'proc100'

For this I want to use sort utility's outrec to get my i/p file modified and give output like as I wanted.

So that I can use my o/p file to be input to my bacth mode of option 3.14
Please help.

If you want to include a single apostrophe in the character string, you must specify it as two single apostrophes. Thus:
Required: O'NEILL
Specify: C'O''NEILL'
