Hi All,

I want to write all the members of a particular PDS into another PS.
is it possible in REXX since i am new to this language.
if so can i get the pseudo code for this.
it can be in REXX or ISPF or clist....

Thanks In Advance,
Christpoher J

Go into option 3.1 (Library).

Next to Data Set Name enter your PDS with single quotes.

Place an "X" (Print Index Listing) next to Option and press enter to print an index listing.

The system will say: INDEX PRINTED

Enter 'HELP' next to Option and press enter.

The system will show the dataset it placed your index in.

Enter 'LIST' next to Option and press enter.

Select option 3.- Keep existing data set and continue with new data set.

Go back into option 3.4 and DISPLAY your USERID next to dsname level.

Browse or edit your USERID.SPF?.LIST dataset to see the PDS members

There's no REXX function that deals with PDS's.

On top of the suggestion from cpuhawg, there's also the TSO LISTDS command and the ISPF LMMLIST service. You can also, as in other languages, read the PDS directory block:
Code:

/* REXX */                                                           
"ALLOC DD(pds) DA('mypds') SHR REU RECFM(F) DSORG(PS) LRECL(256) BLKSIZE(256)"
"EXECIO * DISKR pds (STEM dir. FINIS"                                 
Do blk = 1 To dir.0                                                   
  usedbytes = C2D(Substr(dir.blk,1,2))                               
  index = 3 /* skip past used bytes */                               
  Do While index < usedbytes                                         
    If Substr(dir.blk,index,8) = 'FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'x Then Leave       
    pds2name = Substr(dir.blk,index,8) /* member name */             
    Say pds2name                                                     
    index = index + 11 /* skip past name and ttr */                   
    pds2indc = Substr(dir.blk,index,1)                               
    len = Bitand(pds2indc,'1F'x) /* isolate user data length */       
    userdata = C2D(len) * 2 /* halfwords to bytes */                 
    index = index + userdata + 1 /* skip past user data */           
  End                                                                 
End                                                                   
"FREE DD(pds)"

Try this:
Code:
/**/
X = OUTTRAP("MEMLST.")
"LISTDS 'mypds' MEMBERS"
X = OUTTRAP("OFF")
DO I = 1 TO MEMLST.0
  SAY MEMLST.I
END

In your rexx you will have to ignore everything up to the "--MEMBERS--" line

(Sorry, just reread the question). The full code could be:
Code:
/* REXX */                                 
mypds = 'z1i.spf.clist'                   
outfile = 'z1i.temp.work1'                 
                                           
X = OUTTRAP("MEMLST.")                     
"LISTDS '"mypds"' MEMBERS"                 
X = OUTTRAP("OFF")                         
                                           
/* bypass until MEMBERS found */           
Do I=1                                     
   If MEMLST.I = "--MEMBERS--" Then Leave 
End                                       
                                           
/* start real process here */             
"ALLOC FI(FOUT) DA('"outfile"') SHR"         /* allocate output file */
Do I = I+1 TO MEMLST.0                     
   inpname = mypds"("strip(MEMLST.I)")"      /* make input name */
   "ALLOC FI(FINP) DA('"inpname"') SHR"      /* allocate input member */
   "EXECIO * DISKR FINP (FINIS STEM lines."  /* read input */
   "EXECIO * DISKW FOUT (STEM lines."        /* append to output */
   "FREE FI(FINP)"                           /* release input member */
End                                       
"FREE FI(FOUT)"

Marso,

Your code works fine with the input as PS. I want to know the possibility to write to another PDS member. Kindly enlight on this.

Never reactivate the old thread and for queries please start a new topic and explain better with what is the requirement , what is expected and what is being done so far ..

So it would help others and you to narrow down on the solution

the INPUT is a PDS and the OUTPUT is a PS.

all you would have to do is change the outfile value and the modify the FOUT ALLOC command.
