I have one JCL step having 70 input dd statements. And one output file out of it. The name of all input files are of two type.
e.g
1)
PROD.ABCD.APL1234.FILE
PROD.ABCD.APL3456.FILE
PROD.ABCD.APL1111.FILE
PROD.ABCD.APL2222.FILE
2)
PROD.ABCD.BGFI886D.APP3945.XMIT
PROD.ABCD.HPDT345F.APP2345.XMIT
PROD.ABCD.NHTFGTRF.APP5567.XMIT
Instead of coding all the names in the jcl I want to write only two
DD name like
INPUT DD DSN=PROD.ABCD.APLXXXX.FILE,DISP=SHR
DD DSN=PROD.ABCD.YYYY.APPXXXX.XMIT,DISP=SHR
Where XXXX = 1234,3456,4567,1234
YYYY =BGFI886D,HPDT345F.....
Please let me know how I can do this in JCL.
Thanks |

Hello and welcome to the forum,

If you want this to work, you will forego this want and put in the dd statements for each input file. You can concatenate the input files within a single ddname
Possibly there is somethng i am missing? |

Yes you can write two DD names and concatenate all require dataset.
But for sure you need to mention all dataset names which you need to concatenate, no shortcut like using wildcard to it. |

You cannot do strictly with JCL.
But you can probably write a rexx program that issues LISTCAT to determine dataset names, then build the JCL with those names. |
