Need the solution urgently

[karthik.dg]

Hi,

First I will explain you my requirement.

Through JCL, I want to read the data between 50th to 75th position from a PS file and want to assign this value to a symbolic parameter.

Could you please let me know how I can do this using JCL.

Thanks,
Karthik

Thanks for your reply.

Suppose the data in the file is as below..

karthikdg1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I want to read the data from a to e(i.e.abcde value) and then I want to assign this value to a symbolic variable so that i can use this value as a qualifier in a DSN name.

I'm confused - HLQ can be of only 8-characters...

May be what you are trying to do is a way to achieve what you want to do but not the only way for sure - if you tell us what is the actual requirement, some one will be around with a better suggestion...

Hi anuj,
Any Level qualifier can have maximum of 8 character.

As per my understanding requirement is:

To read some position from x to y from input file (which is less than 8 char..than only we can use it as qualifier) and use this word as high level qualifier.

thanks,

Hi,

Yes that's correct and I know. From the perspective of this thread I kept the discussion to HLQ only . . .

To read some position from x to y from input file (which is less than 8 char..than only we can use it as qualifier) and use this word as high level qualifier.

Yes - this is evident but I was expecting OP to show some intrest so that we can work towards the solution . . . porbably combination of SYMNAMES of SORT product and SET parameter can work . . . but I didn't try that yet.
