Have the VSE program read the first set of input instream and then open a sequential input file and read the other data from there. In VSE instream data simply follows the EXEC statement and terminates with /*.

I have some z/OS JCL that I am trying to convert to VSE, and am brand new to VSE. Can someone point me toward a JCL reference guide that might help in converting JCL, or could you tell me if what I am doing is even possible? I have a SYSIN file that has a series of commands, followed by a concatenated PDS member, followed by more commands. The PDS member is generated by a step higher up in the job, so I can't code it all instream. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
