Hi,

Can you one help me in a JCL which should take flat files as input and put each flat file as a new member of a new/exisiting PDS?

Thanks

Suggest you bookmark this: DFSMS Utlities,
Look at IEBGENER (Sequential Copy/Generate Data Set) Program
you could also use SORT with OPTION COPY.

remember, the disp for a pds should always be SHR or OLD, never MOD.

Do you have a sample jcl for that? in SYSUT2, I have to define as follows
SYSUT2 DD DSN=datasetname(member),DISP=(,catlg),.....
I get the following error
MEMBER NAME IS NOT ALLOWED FOR PDSNAME with DSORG=PS

You really do need to explain your problem better.

If the JCL works for one PS file, creating a new member, so all you need to do is to run the JCL multiple times, unless I'm missing something here.

STEP 1 - Create PDS
STEP 2 > STEP nn - Run job to create each member

So what is the problem, that you don't want to do it manually ?
