I create N number of datasets (from A to X)
PROD.RECON.MERGE.A
PROD.RECON.MERGE.B
....
PROD.RECON.MERGE.K
I want to FTP these dataset to server how can I determine @ run time how many I have and build a PUT statement
THanks |

Since you create the datasets yourself (from A to X), then you already know exactly how many of them you’ve got.
There are approx. 100,500 ways to create PUT statements. You need to be more specific in your question, “how to create them”. |

| Why not using MPUT? |

Do a LISTCAT and post-process the output. REXX is good for that, especially as you can have the LISTCAT and postprocess in the same module, but any programming language will do. |

I do not know at run time how many datasets will be created.
it could be 1 or could be 10 (or 15).

You did not provide any logic... I assume there is a loop of some kind. As soon as you create the data set (and populate it with data), submit the FTP command. FTP before proceeding to the next data set. |

Good idea, but all files have to be create during DAY
and FTP only once in night |

You can still create MPUT control card using DFSORT and use that output in SHR mode as an additional step after every other Data Set is created. At the end you will have all the Data Set to be SFTP'd.
Set up one job EOD to run using that control card.
Or
Step1, Since you know all the Data Set names in advance , have them in one PS Data Set ( all of it even if they may not get created today),
Step2, REXX could easily able check if Data Set is cataloged , if yes then write out else no ( you can search how to do in REXX).
Step3, Use output from step2 to prep a final SFTP control card suing DFSORT as easy or any choice of programming language.
You might as well could skip step3 and do it in step2 if you know REXX.
Step4, Use the final SFTP control card from step2/3 to send once at night.

Hence the suggestion from me and others that you need a program (I recommend REXX) to list the datasets and then generate FTP commands from that list. |

while the suggwstion is reasonsable for other situations ,
it does not suit well the current requirements
let' s suppose that the datsets involved are ALL cataloged and kept around for a few days
a journaling system would be needed to keep track of what has been ftp' ed and when
and... and... and...
the info provided by the TS is not enough to give a reasonable advice
IMO for mission critical data exchange FTP and friends are not the best tools to be used |

The name should include the date and time so that you can keep track of which ones need to be FTP'd. |
