Hai all,

Is it possible to allocate member dynamically?

with my case, my member name = CMFGHA

I need to write like this:

XXXXX = CMFGHA
"ALLOC DA(SYSDEV.IDVXM.GRP.COPY198("XXXXX")) F(UPDATEDD) OLD"

but its not working for me.

anybody can help in thE above syntax to make out

"ALLOC DA(SYSDEV.IDVXM.GRP.COPY198(CMFGHA)) F(UPDATEDD) OLD"

thanks
Kalyan

I am still getting same error.

My exact code will rewrite 1st stament in the member.
Can anybody help in solving error.
if i am giving C1355M09 instead of "XXXXX" this code working fine.

but as per requirements, i need to give variable instead of name.

Make sure that your variable contains no leading or embedded blanks. You can use STRIP and SPACE for that purpose.
