Problem statemet:
I want to write a search program which will read all members in a given PDS to find out those members which have a given string......

As I understand the file modes in COBOl,we cannot open directory files...

Is it possible to acieve the above mentioned problem statement through a COBOL pgm ??? Else,How what approach should we take to achive the solution ?

Also,curious to know if any of the Forum members have written a C program on Mainframe ?

Live on,
Deepak

Hi Deepak,

If I recall your problem statement correctly then your query is

" You want to search the partiular string into a PDS"?

If it is the query then you can do this by TSO option 3.14.

Give your string and PDS name in option 3.14.


Regards
Rupesh

1.Thru LBVRS pgm in jcl ,you can search for a keyword,string all the members in a pds.We use this already built-in program

Code:

//AAAAS  JOB 1224,'88 -RADHA',MSGCLASS=H,CLASS=A, 
//             NOTIFY=AAAAS                         
//PRODLIB  EXEC PGM=LBRVS,PARM='NRJS'                 
//LIST     DD   SYSOUT=*                               
//INDEX    DD   SYSOUT=*                               
//MASTER   DD   DISP=SHR,DSN=PDS NAME
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                               
//OSJOB    DD   DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(,PASS),               
//             UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(3120,(100,100),RLSE),
//             DCB=BLKSIZE=3120                       
//SYSIN    DD   DSN=ds containing the search string,
                DISP=SHR       




the dataset contains,

Code:
-OPT UTILITY 
-SCAN /search string/
-END         



2.Another option:Use this pgm ISRUPC

Code:
//SEARCH  EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,                                           *
//            PARM=(SRCHCMP,                                           
//            '')                                                     
//NEWDD  DD DSN=Dataset,                                     
//          DISP=SHR                                                   
//       DD DSN=Dataset2,                                     
//          DISP=SHR                                                   
//OUTDD  DD SYSOUT=(*)                                                 
//SYSIN  DD *                                                         
SRCHFOR  'your search string'
/*   


hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply..

But my question was "I want to write a search program which will read all members in a given PDS to find out those members which have a given string...... "

I was looking at how we can write a pgm which does equivalent funtion to
the tool you have mentioned
" PGM=LBRVS,PARM='NRJS' "

Basically,I want to know how we can write our program to search for a string in all the members of a PDS.

Structure of Program:
Input: 1) PDS Name
2) String Name

Output : Members in the PDS which have this string.

I answered ur ELSE part which is the alternate solution for your first part.

Anyhow,i have nt written such a program till.Its better to try it at my end.

I'm not a COBOL programmer, but I would think that you could design a program to use the ISPF Library Management (LM) services: LMINIT, LMOPEN, LMMLIST, LMCLOSE, as a way to retrieve the PDS member information, and then use standard dynamic allocation routines to OPEN, READ, and CLOSE the individual members of the PDS.

If possible, can anyone please explain how could we use ISPF Library Management Services through a COBOL program as mentioned by Kevin?

If one can provide any example then It will be great.

Here is a sample program. This program "offloads" all the members of an 80-byte PDS to an 80-byte QSAM dataset suitable as input to the IEBUPDTE program. Again, I'm not a COBOL programmer, so it will be a little rough, but functional.

Hi itzDeepak


This may help you

1)Using Jcl create a PS that contains all the values of PDS
2)Write a cobol program, the above PS is the input datei
3)Inside the pgm, search the field
4)Display or write the output on a output datei


Regarding point 1, if u don't know the jcl,

ask me. I will give



Don't hesitate to ask
