Hi,
I have a set of members in 1st PDS file with the following data
{gopal,krishna,sangepu,krish,venkat}
and i have another 2nd PDS data set which have 1000 members.
I need a search utility for searching whether the contents of PDS1 i.e. gopal,krishna etc are existed or not in the 2nd PDS one by one automatically in the background..
I can use F ALL gopal in the 2nd PDS but if i do that i need to search one by one which is a hectic task if i need to found 100 members in 1000 members dataset.
I want to simplify this and need a utility so that i can run that utility in background...
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Gopal |

| As enrico writes, the ISPF Search utility dialogs (3.14 and 3.15) can generate a batch job. My personal favorite is the PDS86 program in file 182 at cbttape.org. It does text search across all or selected members, amongst other things. This of course requires that you are allowed to install a program. |

It seems like not really a search-for task, as I know it. I think you want to compare the member names. Save each member name list to a data set then compare those data sets. |

I was confused by the statement of requirement. I think this is what was meant:

I need a search utility for searching whether the member names of PDS1 i.e. gopal,krishna etc are referenced or not in the 2nd PDS one by one automatically in the background.

Let me clarify my requirement once again..
I have below 5 names
Gopal
krish
krishna
vera
pedro
I need a utility which runs in background to find out whether these 5 names are existed in a particular data set by taking the names one by one automatically. this partcular dataset contains 1000 names.
i.e. the utility should pick gopal and find out whether it existed in particular data set ,then pick krish and finding it in the data set, then pick krishna and do the same for the rest of names ..
as per my understanding 3.14 & 3.15 allows us to find out whether a particular string exists in a data set or not..
correct me if anything wrong
Thanks... |

Are these values within any given member of the PDS, or are they member names ?
I would guess that they are member names but your terminology doesn't make this absolutely clear as I would understand that DATA would be actual data within a MEMBER

Please see the requested clarification above

What have you tried so far, and what problems have you encountered
Which code language are you suggesting, COBOL, REXX, whatever
What logic have you developed and need further help with
Suggestions -
List the members of both PDS datasets (assuming the values mentioned are members)
Maybe try a SORT solution using Joinkeys to see what's common between the two PDS datasets
There will be lots of examples of both parts on the forum, and you could code it all in one little REXX exec too |

Correct and it can search for multiple strings at once and in the background. But, you will need one execution per target data set (not file) if, indeed, you are talking about sequential data sets and not PDSes. |

something along the lines of
| Code: |
//SEARCH EXEC PGM=ISRSUPC,
// PARM=(SRCHCMP,XREF,'ANYC')
//NEWDD DD DSN=<pds1>,
// DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=<pdsn>,
// DISP=SHR
...
...
...
// DD DSN=<pdsn>,
// DISP=SHR
//OUTDD DD SYSOUT=<the sysout class>
//SYSIN DD *
SRCHFOR <string1>
SRCHFOR <string2>
...
...
...
SRCHFOR <stringn>
|
should work
just substitute for pds1,pds2,...,pdsn
the PDSes to be searched
and for string1,string2,...,stringn
the strings to be found |

Enrico provided a sample job. There is not a tool that will build the job for your automatically. |

I would recommend, besides of playing computer games and clicking gadgets, also start trying to understand the fundamental IT terminology; at least, find out the difference between "dataset", "partitioned dataset", "names", "members"
"Whether these 5 names existed" - ????? 
"by taking the names one by one automatically" - ????? 
"this partcular dataset contains 1000 names" - ?????? 
It nothing except shame, trying to appear with questions like this one at the MAINFRAME EXPERTS FORUM.
This is the level of kindergarten.  |
