Hi,

My proc is like this

Code:
//PROC1 PROC PARMLIB=,           
//         INPUT1='NULLFILE',                     
//         INPUT2='NULLFILE',                 
//         INPUT3='NULLFILE',                 
//         INPUT4='NULLFILE',

.....
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=PGM1,
//DDNAME  DD  DSN=&INPUT1,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=&INPUT2,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=&INPUT3,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=&INPUT4,DISP=SHR

                   
               


MY JCL is like this, I wanted to override only input 2

Code:

//JS0100  EXEC PROC1,                           
//        INPUT1='MY.DATASET1', 
//*       INPUT2='MY.DATASET2', 
//         INPUT3='MY.DATASET3', 
//         INPUT4='MY.DATASET4', 


When I run this JCL only the data in first file gets processed and those in 3 and 4 are getting ignored , eventhough the datsets are getting overridden correctly. Why is it so ?

Thanks,
YSMVS.

Ysmvs,

Check this link for rule for concatenating datasets with dummy/nullfile

NULLFILE Specifies a dummy data set. NULLFILE has the same effect as coding the DD DUMMY parameter.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu
