Code:

//TESTEXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// PARM='%TEST'
//INREC   DD DSN=DATASET1,DISP=SHR
//            DD DSN=DATASET2,DISP=SHR

....
TEST  Program:

"EXECIO 100 DISKR INREC 1 (STEM REC."

I submit the REXX program TEST in the background. Test program execute EXECIO to read the concatenated data sets 1 and 2. It works fine if both dataset 1 and 2 are not empty. If anyone is empty, I got a return code of 4 from EXECIO. Is there a workaound except merge the 2 datasets into a single temporary dataset prior to execute TEST on the temporary dataset?

Nope! No way around receiving an RC=4 when you attempt to EXECIO DISKR/RU a concatenation of datasets where one is empty.



edited by dbz to modify the post - correct some grammar.

Well there is always a way around anything Smile
If you get that problem, you could determine the files allocated to the dd and read each one individually
