Hi All,


For displaying same type of Dataset we use like this in 3.4 option[hope u guys know]

A.B.C.D.* where A is high level qualifier, * is for displaying same type of dataset..

Now using JCL I want to concatenate same type of data sets like this A.B.C.D.* for copying.

Any shortcut method is there for getting this...I need solution for this problem....

Condition 1 GDG is not allowed in this case
Condition 2 Coding a data set name in jcl is not allowed like this
Code:
              SYSUT1  DD DSN=A.B.C.D.01,DISP=SHR,
                           DD DSN=A.B.C.D.02,DISP=SHR,
                           DD DSN=A.B.C.D.03,DISP=SHR,

I need like this

Code:
               SYSUT1 DD DSN=A.B.C.D.*,DISP=SHR,



Let Me know If u Need more Information


Thanks & Regards, Hari B

There is no solution that can be offered. What you are asking for is not possible within JCL. Your Condition 2 example IS the proper method for concatenating datasets in JCL.
