Hi!
Is anybody aware of how to extract dataset name and write it into output file without using REXX.
I have requirement as mentioned below:
INDD DD DSN=T.EXTRACT.UPDATE,DISP=SHR
OUTDD DD DSN=T.BACKUP,DISP=(MOD,CATLG,CATLG)
Now, I want to write T.EXTRACT.UPDATE in T.BACKUP output dataset.
Thus, my output dataset will look like
12345 XYZ T.EXTRACT.UPDATE
Can this be done without using REXX. |

Thanks a lot Superk!!
I am using IKJEFTSR and IKJTSOEV programs to avail DD name. Where can I find these programs in libraries? My compiler is unable to find them. |

Why not have your input datasetname as a symbolic e.g.
| Code: |
| //DDNAME DD DSN=&INDSN,DISP=SHR/OLD |
and have your program accept a parameter which is the same as that for your DSN e.g.
| Code: |
//STEP EXEC PGM=MYPGM,
// PARM= &INDSN |

If you are new to Cobol, you might want to try Use [URL] BBCode for External Links which is for Beginners and Students.
If you want to go Nick's route, search this forum for examples of passing the PARM to a Cobol program. |

I think that you are certainly right Vasanthz. Thanks.
Proving once again the value of the Preview button, and clicking on the link. I wonder if it would have come back to the "recursive" topic?
EDIT: In an all-round masterful display of brain-skills, I notice I also got Nic's name wrong. Sorry Nic.
Further EDIT: And Vasanthz's. Fixing now. Sorry Vasanthz. Spelling "round" correctly as well. Looks like it is going to be a good day :-) |
