Brad, The Systems/ASM assembler can run on USS and read either HFS files or PDS members... mixing and matching (i.e. reading files from either location during the assemble step.)
You might want to give that a try, it could save time over copying the USS files to a PDS. See http://www.dignus.com/dasm/ - Dave Rivers - Taylor, Clarence B wrote:
I would like to be able to create a PDS or PDSE, form a USS environment. I have looked thru the USS commands manual and nothing obvious pops out. After creating the PDS (or if I have to, use a pre-allocated one), then I want to copy all of the files from a given directory to that PDS. It is guaranteed that the file names will be "proper" member names. I could not see a way of doing that either. Just to share the problem I am trying to solve, in case there are other creative solutions that I have missed in my short sightedness. I have a unix process that generates various flavors of source code "c" source (both .c and .h) assembler source and macros, script files, and even a Makefile. After generating all of these things, I run make to create the executables. When I try to run c89 with assembler input, I need to specify the location of the macros. The only thing I have found so far is an environment variable _C89_SUSRLIB that can be set to the MVS DSNAMES that would be equivalent to the concatenated MACLIB DD statement in a normal batch assembly. Thus I came up with the idea of copying the generated macros to a temporary PDS for assembly purposes, and thus back to my original question. Any thoughts would be appreciated Thank you Brad Taylor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
