hy yogesh,

try in your ispf primary option menu,
option 3.14 or 3.15 (Search-for).

I tried concatenating, but it doesnt help me out . Please let me know if any other possible ways of getting it done.

Regards,
Yogesh.

hy yogesh,

once more:
use the ispf utility...
you can choose this in batch mode and you get a job.
now concatenate all the libs desired,
with the same search for request...

Hi,
Try the following code

//search job NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// CLASS=B,MSGCLASS=X
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=file.tobe.searched
//OUTDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.listing.file
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'XYZ'
/*

result of search will be written in to OUTDD

hy yogesh,

you see, balajiofcrrcoe just did what i recommended,
the job he supplied is the genrated job by 3.14 or 3.15
--> in NEWDD make now the concatenation!

Hi,
martin9 is correct this is 3.14,but when i have tried by concatening the files noticed that the search results of the last search in the concatenation were listed in the listing file.

so one thing what i can suggest you is submit the job in steps by opening the listing file(outdd) first in shr mode and from the second search onwards in append mode

just like this:-

//search job NOTIFY=&SYSUID,
// CLASS=B,MSGCLASS=X
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=file1.tobe.searched
//OUTDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.listing.file
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'XYZ'
/*
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,PARM=(SRCHCMP,'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=file2.tobe.searched
//OUTDD DD DISP=MOD,DSN=your.listing.file
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'XYZ'
/*
//

Please let me know if we can do this in any other way or for any questions.

hy,

if this happens,
means that the utility opens and closes the OUTDD
for each single dataset in the concatenation...
therefore it is always overridden.
maybe you try DISP=MOD for OUTDD,
this appends also, even if you open/close it several times...
