Concatenating Input Files

Multiple input files are controlled by JCL. For example, several IMS Interface data tapes can be processed by specifying OPTCODE=B and listing the volume serial numbers of the input tapes. The Wizard Report Writer has been programmed to automatically accept and process input files under the same file name (CAIJSHST) with unlike attributes. This feature allows users to concatenate input files residing on different device types and having different DCB attributes.
