I have to check n number of member in n number of PDS, that they are present or not.
How to do it with JCl or with utility?
I can do it manually, but it is time consuming.
please help me out.

And maybe reveal how the input information listing the PDS names and the member names will be stored.
Are there any restrictions on what you can and cannot use, because in the past forum members have given solutions to requests only for the OP to turn around afterwards and whinge about not being allowed to use REXX, or ICETOOL or whatever ..................
And maybe you could explain your logic as to why this was posted in the COBOL forum when you want to use a utility ?
I have 2000 member to search in 50 PDS
either these 2000 present in mentioned 50 PDS or not.
To do it manually is time consuming, I know ISRUPC utility, will it work i have to confirm it.

Hi Bunty,
As Gerry asked, I guess you need to explain your question better.
Am still confused as to whether
-> you want to find a member in the 50 PDS's or
-> search a string inside all the members inside these PDS...
As per your wordings:
-> you want to find a member in the 50 PDS's
simply, I have to search member in PDS, but the problem is I have numerous PDS and numerous member.
How could I find 2000 members(not the string) in 50 PDS ,using JCl or Utility?

Hi,
Just to confirm, is these PDS names completely different.
In these cases i usually use 3.4 option itself to find the member.
Say your PDS are...
A.QUAL1.QUAL2.PDS0001
A.QUAL1.QUAL2.PDS0002
:: ::
A.QUAL1.QUAL2.PDS0049
A.QUAL1.QUAL2.PDS0050
In 3.4 if you give A.QUAL1.QUAL2.PDS*, it will list all these PDS and in the command line if u issue M <member-name> ... that will show you whether the member is available or not...
Of Course... this method has its disadvantages also...
