COND statement can be used..refe: Please post links only from IBM's site.

Length in CICS map is defined by LENGTH field as in the following statement

DFHMDF POS=(4,1),LENGTH=5,ATTRB=(ASKIP,NORM),INITIAL='Name:'

refer the below examples: Example 7 //TEST1 JOB MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //STEP1 EXEC PGM=USES40,TIME=(,50) //STEP2 EXEC PGM=USESREST,TIME=0 STEP1 can use the processor for 50 seconds. If STEP1 actually uses the processor for only 40 seconds, STEP2 can use the processor for 10 seconds, because that is the tim...

Sorry I did not see PDS in the screenshot

use the following code //ST010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //FILEIN DD DSN=TSO.REC.IN,DISP=SHR //SYSIN DD * PRINT INFILE(FILEIN) - CHARACTER COUNT(1) It should return a return code of 4 if the dataset is empty

If the name of the temporary PDS members is known we can delete them by using IEFBR14 utility of the JCL. Delete them like any other sequential dataset by giving MVS.USERID.JCL(TEMPMEM) where tempmem is the name of temporary member

BLKSIZE=0 means that developer does not want to specify the BLKSIZE and it will be defaulted to system determined

TEST.TS.A.CNTL is a Sequencial data and not a PDS..it needs to be a PDS to have a member JCL
