Hi,

We have a production GDG base with 240 generations. In that, 96 generations have LRECL of 190 and remaining 144 have LRECL of 287. The LRECL got increased due to the major project implementation. I did not know this until the SORT job I used abended. Now, we are asked to search these 240 generations for certain information.

I have used below SORT with GDG base supplied to SORTIN but it failed because the LRECL of all the 240 generations weren't the same.

Hi,

We are asked to find out the jobs that use GDGs. I have used 3.14 to search our Production PDSes for string '(+1)' and it returned 350 members from two PDSes. Many of these jobs are obsolete so don't run on production. We spent two days to figure out which are all the valid jobs and got that there are 216 jobs that run as on date. Now, we have to figure out the GDGs from these jobs.

Now, how to search only these 216 jobs from two production PDSes?
My idea was like explained below but thought it would be time consuming. Also, it will not avoid duplicate entries if a new generation is created and used more than once in the same job.

Hi, Admin.

I am very sorry that I posted two different questions under one topic. I did not choose new topic to put new question. Sorry about it.

Please put it as two seperate topics.

Thanks.

Ok Friends...... Now, I know how to search only selective PDS members of a PDS.

This can be done in batch mode only. Suppose, if you want to search for members JCLJOB01, JCCCOB68 & JXMIDS93 for something "ABCD" then you can use below given JCL..........

On your first post:-

1 - complete your release implementation by converting the old files to the new LRECL

or

2 - get sort to treat the files as VB
