Hi All,

Can we create a rexx tool to extract all the file name which start with &xxx.abc from a PDS which has n number of proc(mem) using those file name.

I mean i want to scan the PDS for the Particular file Name.

The answer, I think, is yes, but why can't you use a SUPERC search to obtain the same results?

I have done that however I just want to filter out all the unnecessary which comes along with the SUPC o/p.

I mean i want to somehow automate the tool and after scanning i want to take those o/p files for further processing and not the entire data which comes along with the SUPC.

Please clarify what you mean by 'file name'. I suspect you mean DD name, but you might also mean dataset name.

You can invoke SUPERC from within REXX, then manipulate OUTDD from the same REXX.

Hi,
Invoking supc from rexx will get the other values as well in which im not interested.

I want toget only the file name.

look like You do not care to understand what is being suggested

proceed like in the dfsort case

instead of processing the result with sort process it with rexx
