Hi,
I have an input file as,
-SCAN *ABC123E
-SCAN *EIC345D*
-SCAN *CUC141E*
-SCAN *OPC120U*
and I want output as,
-OPT UTILITY
-SCAN *ABC123E
-SCAN *EIC345D*
-SCAN *CUC141E*
-SCAN *OPC120U*
-END
The DCB Parameter is (LRECL=10,BLKSIZE=23470,RECFM=FB).
So Please suggest me if we can use Concatenation of file for this or need to use Header and Trailer to get the Output file?

Your header and trailer content are fixed. You could use either and achieve the same results. Concatenation (if using the concatenated dataset into the step where it will be processed, rather that concatenating with a COPY operation) saves a pass of the data, though the volume on your file (control cards) will never be such to benefit from that.
