To Whom It May Concern:

I need to override a step in a PROC that contains concatinated files.

ex:
//PROCSTEP.SORTIN DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.RON
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.RICH
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.PAUL
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.TODD
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.PETE
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.TOM

The override needs to read the first 3 files, but not the 4th file (BRXY.PROXY.TODD) and then read the 5th & 6th files.
I;m not sure if this override would work?

//PROCSTEP.SORTIN DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.RON
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.RICH
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.PAUL
// DD DUMMY
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.PETE
// DD DSN=BRXY.PROXY.TOM

Also, if the files have different BLKSIZE, does the biggest BLKSIZE need to be the first concatinated file?

Thanks

Move PETE and TOM up and put the DUMMY at the sixth position.
