Hi..
Can we Assign the file length for the input files dynamically. For example, i have only one program and i need to execute that with 10 different i/p files with VB record format and the o/p file length is same. So can we do this with only one DD name for i/p files?

You can do that. but you need to code cobol program accordingly.
Modify FILE SECTION with correct parameters.

Code: Select all

FD FILE-1
RECORDING MODE IS V
RECORD IS VARYING FROM 40 TO 60 CHARACTERS.

Nataraj,
Thanks for the reply.. But I guess that code will work for the record length variation and not for the file Length.
Anuj,
I can process the 10 i/p VB files by assigning 10 DD names which have different length. But i want to process it by assigning to one DD. Thats why i want to assign the length of the files dynamically.
