Hi,

I'm intending to setup variable input for a given ddname using symbolics, as follows

//SYSIN DD &inpt01

Just wonder if it possible to break lines in a string and perform continuation to achieve it in case I have multiple datasets, for instance:

Select all

// SET inpt01='DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE01' <= Line breaker would go here.
'// DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE02'

in order to have

Select all

//SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE01
// DISP=SHR,DSN=FILE02

Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to the forum,

To specify multiple datasets you could specify them at runtime in an override.

You could also place them in a member and INCLUDE them.

Thanks D.

You brought a light to mi mind. I'll use the INCLUDE technique to achieve what I need.
