For a "one off", I rather liked the simple JCL with a PROC and the volser as a symbol. Then, one volser, one EXEC PROC statement.
If I were going to do this for an ongoing project, then I would consider ISPF file tailoring, but mainly if the input is from a user at a terminal. If the volser list is computer generated into a dataset, then I'd probably use REXX in batch to create the job(s) and write them to SYSOUT=(*,INTRDR). I could probably write an awk program to do it as well. But that seems to be "overkill", to me. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
