IBM Mainframe Forum

I have a text file. Now I want to read this text file. Text file will have the name of a file (that is present on mainframe system). Now I want to locate this file (present in mainframe) and want to process it .
Please suggest how to do this

There's no one special way to do this. Personally, I'd probably write a program in REXX and handle all of the specifics wthin it. Not knowing your system, what constraints you have to work within, what standards you have to follow, what utilities and languages you have to use, it's difficult to provide much more of an answer. I'd like to know what you've tried, or what you think you'd like to try, and using what programs/utilities, before I can provide some basis of an idea.
