Finding all files with common qualifiers in TSO

[jimlocigno4]

Hi,

I have searched the forum for this and I don't find any thing that really addresses what I need.

I will soon have lots of files in the form of
aaaaa.bbbbb.ccccc.dddddd.gggggg (the nodes are not necessarily all the same length). However the the dddddd node will be the only variable node. In other words I will have files similar to:

something.file.text.fqrtgrqr.ggggg
something.file.text.rerqrq.ggggg
something.file.text.gafadf.ggggg
something.file.text.gaff.ggggg

Is there a fully automated way in TSO/MVS to look for files using the above pattern (something.file.text.*.ggggg)
then concatenate all those files together into one new file?

This would be absurdly easy to do in UNIX but I don't think I have that option in this case. And from what I gather from Google searches this may be an impossible task in tso?

Keep in mind any solution needs to run unattended in batch (it will be a scheduled production process).

Thanks.
Jim
