Hey Kolusu/semigeezer,

Thanks a lot for your help folks. I have used ISRSUPC thru REXX and it has worked fine for my 13 data set concatenation.

Thanks again,

I can't find any documented restriction on SuperC's NEWDD (input) statement for search. I was able to search up to 51 concatenated data sets with the string found only in the last one.


Semigeezer,

I am not sure if things have changed with Z/OS , but there was a limitation for concatenating datasets with ISRSUPC. I remember vaguely , when I had a problem with concatenated datasets.

My shop has
Code:

ZENVIR: ISPF 5.6MVS
ZISPFOS:ISPF FOR z/OS 01.06.00


PF1 on 3.15 panel and option
Code:
9  -Concatenated Data Sets - Using concatenated data sets 


Shows me this

Quote:

If you leave the SEARCH data set name field blank, a concatenation entry panel is displayed. You can specify a list of concatenated data sets, an uncataloged or password protected data set, or a cataloged data set name. Up to four data sets may be concatenated for the search input.


I am guessing that it also depends on the size of the datasets. If the datasets are huge ,then your results may not be accurate.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding using FILEAID. However, I am stuck with a different issue. The datasets I have in the concatenation list are of different LRECLs and so FILEAID issues an error when run in Batch.


Amit4u,

Nope ! Fileaid can handle different LRECL in the concatenation list. File-aid does Not care if the largest LRECL is first in the concatenation list. If smaller LRECL dataset is first in the concatenation it simply truncates the output file and ends with a return code of 4. So code your largest LRECL dataset first in your concatenation list

Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Diba,

You are right.I was referring to ISPF options 3.14 and 3.15.

I think the referenced doc is wrong. Limitations on concatenation were raised around OS/390 2.10 or so. I suspect SuperC was done then too but I don't remember.
