how to concatenate the datasets

[Frank Yaeger]

It's not clear what exactly you're asking. If you want to concatenate input data sets for some program, you'd use DD statements like this:

Code: Select all

//ddname DD DSN=...  file1
//       DD DSN=...  file2
//       DD DSN=...  file3
...

If you want to do something else, explain clearly what it is you want to do.

to concatenate PS(physical sequential) data sets we can use the ibm utility
IEBGENER program
and specify the files in this way

//JOB1 JOB .....................
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT1 DD DSN="FILE1",DISP=SHR,
DD DSN="FILE2",DISP=SHR,
DD DSN="FILE3",DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN="NEWFILE",DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
DCB=(...............),
SPACE=(...........)
where record length should be file1(rec len)> file2(rec len)> file3(reclen)
the result is stored in output file NEW FILE
we cannot concatenate PDS(partitioned data set) files.as they have members
