Dear all,

Is there another utility that I can use other than the IEBGENER that will execute, regardless if the record format or blocksizes that does not match? A normal IEBGENER will fail if the RECFM/BLKSIZE does not match. I have included an example of two input files with different LRECL's and BLKSIZES

Select all

//*********************************************************************
//*
//*********************************************************************
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//*********************************************************************
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=SPLNS.TLIVE.PLD606.JAN03,DISP=SHR
// DD DSN=PSAVE.DLIVE.PLD606.JAN03,DISP=SHR
//*
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=SPLNS.TLIVE.PLD606.CMP025.JAN03A,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// LRECL=177,RECFM=FB,
// SPACE=(TRK,(50,10),RLSE)
//*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*
//SYS1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(300,30))
//SYS2 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(300,30))
//SYS3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(300,30))

Regards,
Martin

What all functions would you expect the program to do?

Pad the short records to the output LRECL?
Truncate, if needed.
Handle FB and VB?

Perhaps an ICETOOL-type step with multiple inputs and a common output but you'd need to specify how the input fields reformat to the output. It's not going to generically handle everything.

You cannot concatenate datasets with unlike dcb info - unless my menory has completely gone away
