Question

There are a set of 10 files and a customer will be selecting random no of files(i.e they may be more than 2, may not be in the order).Sometimes he might just select one file or sometimes no files at all.How do you code a JCL for this? Is it possible to code just JCL alone for this problem? Hi, I don't know the exact answer to this query. But I have following approach. Suppose I have a cobol pgm (say) PGM123 that is picking up files randomly. (We definately need 1 application pgm to process any of those 10 files randomly. This is my basic assumption) I will code a PARM or SYSIN DD * where in my customer can change order of selection of files . Say if customer enters PARM as ABCD in order then I will move this PARM ABCD in a working storage variable in COBOL PGM and will read each byte A (assign to process file-1) if second byte is B then process file-2 of third byte is C then process file-3 and so on. If the cutomer changes this parm as EDA then files processed will be file-5 then file-4 then file-1. If any body has different approach pls let me know.

Question What does IEBGENER do? Answer

Used to copy one QSAM file to another. Source dataset should be described using SYSUT1 ddname. Destination dataset should be described using SYSUT2. IEBGENR can also do some reformatting of data by supplying control cards via SYSIN. used to copy a group of records of variable length from one qsam file to another. the file may be ps or pds member.. source file must be specified in SYSUT1 and destination is specified in SYSUT2. You can use IEBGENER to perform the following tasks: 1) Create a backup copy of a sequential data set, a member of a partitioned data set or PDSE or a UNIX system services (USS) file such as a HFS file. 2)Produce a partitioned data set or PDSE, or a member of a partitioned data set or PDSE, from a sequential data set or a USS file. 3) Expand an existing partitioned data set or PDSE by creating partitioned members and merging them into the existing data set. 4) Produce an edited sequential or partitioned data set or PDSE. 5) Manipulate data sets containing double-byte

Subscript is the occurance number in the arrary of element. Fr e.g., an array has only one itme that repeats for 20 times, in order to refer to 10th itme in this array, you can say ITEM(20). This '20' can be replaced by a WS variable having value = 20. Index: It is the displacement from the begining. if you remember, when we use Index in a loop, then we do not code Move 2 to WS-INDEX. We have to code. We need to set the index to zero and then increament.
