With due respect for assembler programmers, why would anyone write a program to do this?  |

I agree and don't understand this requirement at all.
There are already IBM utilities in-place and available to do this.
I'm light on REXX, but I think it can do it as well.
Why reinvent the wheel?
Do you have an Assembler background?
If not, then it would be ill advised.
Homework, perhaps?
Mr. Bill |

We got this requirement to allocate 1000 files which is provided in a PS file as DSN name and VOLSER number......
Any how, I have coded successfully with PeterHolland's hint.
The logic is as follows
LOCATE INDAB
LTR 15,15
BZ CATLOGED
INDAB CAMLST NAME,FILE,,LOCAREA
FILE DC CL44'a.b.c'
LOCAREA DS 0D
DS 265C |
