//INDD DSN=A.B.C,DISP=SHR

Hi Mike,

When I use DISP=OLD , its saying that the Member is not present in the DATA SET. I wanted to create that particular Member in the existing PDS.
Pls let me know if u have any alternative.

Sounds like you are not allocating these datasets in JCL???

JCL doesn't care if the member exists or not when allocated DISP=OLD. It will create it for you.

Are you dynamically allocating these files in a Rexx or something similar?
