				Hello Everybody,
 
 
Just wanted to know if it is possible to copy the 1st line of every member in a PDS into some PS dataset using File-Aid. 
 
 
WE have a PDS which contains some 9000 members. I need to copy the 1st line of each member into some sequential dataset. I know it can be done via REXX, but I would appreciate, if someone can suggest a way to do this via File-Aid Batch. 
 
 
Thanks

//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                                  
 
//SYSUT1   DD  DSN=YOUR PDS,                                
 
//             DISP=SHR                                                  
 
//SYSUT2   DD  SYSOUT=*                                                  
 
//SYSIN    DD  *
