I have no idea what you're trying to do. You want to transfer a file. From where to where? Using what file transfer protocol/method/product? Is this a process you're authorized to do? Is there some online help available to you that we wouldn't have? What do you mean by your term "after giving browse...

There ARE required control statements that you haven't shown us. To create a new PDS you need an ADD statement to define the member name:

./ ADD NAME=membername

followed by the content for that member. Repeat as needed for each required member. The only DD name you need is SYSUT2 for the new PDS.

You can use IEBUPDTE if your input and output is in the normal RECFM=FB, LRECL=80 format.

I though your previous post WAS your solution. Here's how I understand your process: 1. Submit a test job to run your Oracle test process. This job could run for up to 20 minutes. 2. After the test process completes, this job will submit the second test job. 3. The second test job will run. What thi...

Re: Transfer the file to MVS as it is

I want the file to be transmitted with out any conversions in ASCII mode.(dont want to use binary mode) You can't do that. ASCII mode WILL perform the ASCII-to-EBCDIC translation. If you don't want that to happen, then BINARY is the only other option. That's probably your best option. Then, you can...

I don't think that the technical representitives from Syncsort have a presence on this forum. You'd probably get better results if you opened a support ticket with them directly.

This is just a general comment, but most sorting processes determine those sort of details based on the indicated input and output details, and adjust the allocation requirements dynamically as needed.

First of all, keep in mind that DCB is obsolete and has been for some time now. I'd suggest that you remember that it exists, and then forget about actually using it. It's rare that you need to specify the dataset attributes, but the circumstances depend greatly on what program is being used to crea...

As far as applying a change to a group of members within a PDS, here's a list of some ideas, you can pick and choose what might work for you in your environment: 1. Use the standard utility IPOUPDTE . This is meant for your typical JCLLIB, PROCLIB, and PARMLIB type of data. 2. Use a standard third-p...

I'm not a COBOL programmer, but ... I'd use a table of 10 occurences. Read a record and store it in working-storage. For each record read, bump the entries in the table down one (move the 9th occurent to the 10th, the 8th to the 9th, etc.) and replace the first with the most recently read record. Wh...
