#1: Append the records using JCL Author: venkata, Location: India

Hi friends,

I have 2 PDSs and each one has a member that contains 20000 lines. I tried to append the records using cut and paste. But I was getting some ABEND code and I couldn't the paste the lines.

Can anybody provide the solution to accomplish my task?

Thanks in Advance,
Venkata

venkata,

You can open one dataset1 in edit mode and use "COPY 'DATASET2'" edit command with an (A)fter or (B)efore line command as you do with cut and paste.

The error was probably an out of storage error. I suppose there are many ways to do this, but an easy JCL solition is just a bunch of ICEGENER steps.
1) Copy the contents to a temp sequential file because you can't append to a PDS member
2) append the new data (DISP=MOD)
3) copy back to the original PDS.
Depending on your data source, 1 & 2 can be combined by concatenation on SYSUT1.

Venkata, Try this ...

Code:

//MERGEJCL JOB (09002T),'MERGING FILES',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=B,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//MERGE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=BOTTOM.DATASET.NAME,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=TOP.DATASET.NAME,DISP=MOD
//SYSIN DD *
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//AMSDUMP DD SYSOUT=*

SYSUT2 will contain combined output.
