Hi

I need to insert a line in all the member of a pds..can some one help for this

I think the TS wants to run an IEBPTPCH PUNCH TYPORG=PO command to write the PDS to a sequential dataset, write a program to transform the sequential dataset to IEBUPDTE input with the new record at the appropriate place, and then rebuild the PDS, or create a new PDS, which is much safer. Of course, I'm assuming the PDS contains 80 byte logical records, anything else is more complex, and I'm also assuming the TS has some programming skills, which may be assuming too much. This program would not be very complex.

IEBPTPCH and IEBUPDTE are documented in the Utilities manual in the DFSMS bookshelf for the z/OS release the TS is running.

This is just a proposal for something the TS should be able to do. A more direct solution would require an Assembler program of some complexity, which is almost certainly beyond the probable skill set of the TS.

Even so, I suggest that "Other Mainframe Topics" is much more logical than "Suggestions & Feedback".

Hello and welcome to the forum,

I've cleaned up your topic to remove the unnecessary comments from earlier.

Your topic has been relocated to a more appropriate part of the forum (All Other Mainframe Topics).

your rudeness in asking will prevent from getting good answers/help

just start learning little lessons from life...
not always You will be able to get what You want

Also, your description of the task is awful.

What line do you want to insert. Is it a static line, i.e. it will always be the same, or is it dynamic, i.e. will change on certain conditions.
Where do you want to insert this line, again static position or dynamic.

Unless you take the effort to detail a request then all we can do is guess and waste everybodys time.

As per the comment by Steve Myers, you may find that my rate of 750 euros per day is quite competitive

You could use a Edit macro and be a little more clear with the requirements
