REXX along with TSO command(JSCAN).

[bwahane]

Hi All,

I am new to REXX so need some help to develop a rexx for manual task.

I have a PDS with 20k jobs(jobs having proc) and I need to serach 7k datasets in jobs and find the job names which are referring to a dataset. Jobs having proc and passing the symbolic parameter in the dataset name and when i search through 3.14 I get dataset not found, but if I JSCAN the job and then serach the dataset name then I am able to find the dataset in job. So I need to develop a REXX in which we will read the PDS and jscan the job and then write the o/p of JSCAN dataset in another PDS with same name.

Thanks
Bodhi

New to REXX? This is not a task someone "new to REXX" would be able to handle, but I can suggest something.

Can you write a routine to JSCAN a single member?

Can you read in and parse the saved output of the JSCAN?

Can you loop, doing this for several members?

When you can do these three tasks, you will be well on your way to solving the original problem.
