You can write a rexx to sumit all the Jobs.

Get the member list by using
x = outtrap("i.",'*',"concat")
" listds " "'" || word(dsn,1) || "' members "
x = outtrap("off")

Then in a loop sumit the Jobs using
do J = 7 to i.0
JCLConcat = dsn||"("||strip(i.J)||")"
address tso "Submit '"JCLConcat"'"
end

hi,

its ok,

but is there any JCL or TSO command to do the same.

if yes then post the JCl

superk

Use TSO PRINTDS to convert the entire PDS into a single sequential dataset. Then, submit that dataset.

Jeev,
Put XDC left to the jobname in spool and give space parameters and name to save that as sequential file.

Sahoo's soln too work but you need to give your PDS name (where all of ur job resides ) to DSN as DSN=XXXX.YYYY.JCLDATASET in the above REXX to work..
