Folks,
I have 30 files like
a.b.jul01
.
.
.
a.b.jul31

I need to generate a report for each file.
Instead of submitting a job 31 times with different input files, is it possible to do with one submit so that I get 31 different output files.

(I dont want to concatenate the input files)

Thnx in advance....

You could submit ONE JOB with 31 STEPS rather than 31 JOBS.

Depending on the type of reports you need to generate, you might even be able to use DFSORT's ICETOOL to submit ONE JOB with ONE STEP and 31 DISPLAY operators (or 31 SORT operators each with an OUTFIL statement) to produce the reports.
