Hai all,

Is it possible to allocate member dynamically?

with my case, my member name = CMFGHA

I need to write like this:

XXXXX = CMFGHA
"ALLOC DA(SYSDEV.IDVXM.GRP.COPY198("XXXXX")) F(UPDATEDD) OLD"

but its not working for me.

anybody can help in thE above syntax to make out

"ALLOC DA(SYSDEV.IDVXM.GRP.COPY198(CMFGHA)) F(UPDATEDD) OLD"

thanks
Kalyan

There is nothing wrong with your ALLOC command sytax. Allocating a member of a PDS does not create a member. You need to open it and write something into it.

Follow your ALLOC with something like this:

I am still getting same error.

My exact code will rewrite 1st stament in the member.
Can anybody help in solving error.
if i am giving C1355M09 instead of "XXXXX" this code working fine.

but as per requirements, i need to give variable instead of name.

Make sure that your variable contains no leading or embedded blanks. You can use STRIP and SPACE for that purpose.
