Hi,
I have a PDS with 200 members (COBOL PROGRAMS)
I Want to create a sequencial file with all 200 PROGRAMS Separating each program with '#######' string
Is this possible?

Thanks
Nuno

Is this possible?

Yes. Since you're dealing with a PDS, are you looking to code a program to handle this? If not, what does your plan for this process look like?

I would like to perform this task using a kind of SORT without coding a program.
Thank you very much.

Hi Nuno,

I think in Sort there is no such option available, but with the help of IEBPTPCH utility you can get your requirement done.

Thanks,
Chanti.

I agree. A combination of IEBPTPCH and SORT should get you what you want.

Hi,

you can achieve this with FILEAID if you have it.
