zOS - Getting MEMBER names of concatenated datasets

srosenfe — Tue, 05 Jan 2016 15:09:59 GMT

I need to read certain members of a PDS(not all) and need to get the current MEMBER name I am working with in the concatenation:

I am processing each member of the DDNAME MEMBERS below and need to know each member I process like CARD1, etc...

Example of JCL-

//STEP01 EXEC SASPROD,OPTIONS='SYSPARM="12/31/2015"',

// WORK='100,100'

//******

//SASLXX DD SYSOUT=Z

//SASLIST DD SYSOUT=Z

//MEMBERS DD DSN=MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD1),DISP=SHR

// DD DSN=MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD7),DISP=SHR

// DD DSN=MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD99),DISP=SHR

// DD DSN=MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD123),DISP=SHR

Do you have a FILENAME statement referencing your data?

Something that might look like

Filename myfiles ('MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD1)' 'MY.INPUT.CARDS(CARD7)' ...) disp='old';

On the INFILE statement you should be able to use the FILEVAR option to create a variable that contains the name of the input dataset.

I have the following for my infile -

INFILE MEMBERS END=EOFIND2;
