Hi,
I want to copy a PS file to another in JCL step.
But the second file where I want to copy file should have same filename as first filename except the first level qualifier to be different.
The first filename is not static , it gets changed with date and timestamp for each job submission.
So I want to strip off all qualifiers from first filename except first level qualifier and generate the second filename based on this with new hlq.
Please advise how to achieve this. |

| Show how you do the first file name. Then explain why the second can't be done that way. |

You achieve this in the standard way that has been described many, many, many times -- and after more than 4 years on this forum surely you have read that a few times.
Write a program in the language of your choice to create the JCL with the correct file names. Copy that JCL to the internal reader, either in your program or via a utility. |

Hi! Yes, it is. I have done something similar via REXX years ago. Sadly after this years I haven't coded any REXX program again so I cannot be more helpful.
Good luck! |

Hello,
It is best to reply when you have a contribution to the topic.
Telling the poster you did something like this "once upon a time" but no longer have the code and do not remember exactly how is not very helpful. |

Hi Nic,
Robert had posted and Akatsukami repeated:

And as REXX is a language that many choose, this would be 2 "yes, it can's". . . |

hi,
i cant able to understand what you need exactly but here is the REXX code to change the first qualifier alone
| Code: |
ADDRESS ISREDIT
"(JCLLINE) = LINE .ZCSR"
JCLLINE=STRIP(JCLLINE)
PARSE VAR JCLLINE DUMM 'DSN=' INDSN ',' BRR JUNK
SAY 'INPUT FILE:' INDSN
PARSE VAR INDSN VARA '.' OUTDSN',' BRR JUNK
SAY 'OUTPUT FILE:' XXX.OUTDSN |
Output
| Code: |
INPUT FILE: AAA.ABCD.AABBCCDD.S122.M11111
OUTPUT FILE: XXX.ABCD.AABBCCDD.S122.M11111

Using some utility-program with the capability of copy-opration and keeping the HLQs of input and output static should do what you say, no?
I'm late to the party and possibly I misunderstood. |
