ISRSUPC SRCHFOR tool - Query while using multiple pds

Dear All,

I am trying to use ISRSUPC batch job to search 'ABC' in 2 datasets. It is present in TEST.PDS2.

//SEARCH EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
// PARM=(SRCHCMP,
// 'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TEST.PDS2
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TEST.PDS1
//OUTDD DD SYSOUT=(A)
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'ABC'
/*

gives the member name in TEST.PDS2 but when reversing the order of PDS as below:

//SEARCH EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
// PARM=(SRCHCMP,
// 'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TEST.PDS1
// DD DISP=SHR,DSN=TEST.PDS2
//OUTDD DD SYSOUT=(A)
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR 'ABC'
/*

it says that the string is not found.

Please help on this. Need to know why the 2nd job does'nt find the string.

Regards
Soundarr

It should work. Are the attributes of both PDSes the same? It looks like the search is only beiong performed on the first PDS in the concatenation.

Soundarr,
Please use Code tags to preserve proper spacing.

You misspelled something. Most probably the name.

Are there duplicate member names?

Just to be elaborate. There was a member in PDS1 which did not have "ABC" and a member with same name in PDS2 had "ABC". So, system ignored that member in PDS2 after finding it in PDS1 which came first in the concatenation.
