Instream data set

Post by chintu1680 » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:22 am

Hi ,
Generally the input data is stored in a file and the file name is given in the DSN parameter.

Now what does an instream data set means is coding the input data in the SYSIN DD stmt .It is coded in the following way.

eg://SYSIN DD *
<lines of input data>
/*
OR

eg://SYSIN DD DATA
<lines of input data>
/*

Here /* indicates the end of the input data.
SYSIN is the conventional ddname used to code the input data streams.

Regards,
Chintu.
