MEMBER Statement

The MEMBER statement is used when the output data set is to be partitioned. One MEMBER statement must be included for each member to be created by IEBGENER. The MEMBER statement provides the name and alias names of a new member.

All RECORD statements following a MEMBER statement refer to the one named in that MEMBER statement. If no MEMBER statements are included, the output data set is organized sequentially.

The syntax of the MEMBER statement is:

Label	Statement	Parameters
[label]	MEMBER	NAME=(name[,alias 1][,alias 2] [,...])

where:

NAME=(name[,alias][,...]): specifies a member name followed by a list of its aliases. If no aliases are specified in the statement, the member name need not be enclosed in parentheses.
