Hi,

I need to get the output file in a required format.

How to go for that in REXX ?

I am new to REXX, can I get any sample code for that ?

Sorry for this.

I want to use an input file containg a list of PDS.

After reading the input file, I need to visit each member of the PDS and check whether it is a JCL or not.

After the check is over, I need to prepare an output file, in a format with fields, PDSname, membername, Flag(whether JCL or not).

Basically I need some idea how to design the output format.

YOu'll need to concatenate the various parts manually using the string functions of Rexx and the concatenation operator (2 vertical bars) or the default of 1 space if you leave off the concatenation operator. The string functions you should look at are right(), left(), copies(), substr(), space(), and strip(). There are many others that are useful, but most formatting can be done with just these. There are also some speciallized formatting functions, but I've rarely seen them used.

If you have ISPF, you could also use file tailoring for this but that can be more trouble than it is worth.

In Rexx;

1. Read Inputfile using EXECIO *
2. Loop until all Members are read
Read and expand member
Read First Card to see whether JCL
If JCL write output record
Close File
3. CLose All files
