I'm not certain I understand. You would like to read a member of a PDS from a batch Rexx program without
- Pre-allocating the member in JCL; or - Doing dynamic allocation from within the Rexx. Is that right? I assume you might like to allocate the ENTIRE PDS with JCL (like the SYSLIB DD in a compile) and then access one or more members "dynamically" from within the Rexx? No, I don't know of any way to do that. Rexx I/O is not "cognizant" of PDSes, AFAIK.

Does somebody know how to read a particular member of PDS using MVS address or Storage function only? I mean: I've a Rexx program compiled with STUB MULTI that at the moment run in background mode and in its jcl has within some member of the same partitioned dataset that, for the users(and for me too), looks too static. Now, I don't want to use IKJ* to make dinamic allocation so the only way that I can think is using MVS Data Areas. I used swareq sequence in different program to retrieve allocated dataset but never to allocate them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
