Resolution

You can use the same message and output file ddnames with DISP=MOD :

//MSG3FILE DD  DSN=&&MSG3FILE,DISP=(MOD,PASS),    
//             UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(5,5)),      
//             DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=133,BLKSIZE=0) 
//EXT1ELM  DD  DSN=&&EXT1ELM,DISP=(MOD,PASS),     
//             UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(5,5)),      
//             DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=2048,BLKSIZE=0)

 

Multiple query statements in the input :

//SYSIN *

* EXTRACT AN ELEMENT WITH NO FORMAT - CURRENT VERSION & LEVEL 
AACTL MSG3FILEEXT1ELM                                         
AEELMHE  ENV    1SYSTEM SUBSYS  APITEST   COBOL             
RUN                                                           
AEELMHE  ENV    1SYSTEM SUBSYS  BSTTRD06  COBOL             
RUN                                                           
* LAST CALL, ENSURE THAT THE API SERVER IS SHUTDOWN.          
AACTLY                                                        
RUN                                                           
QUIT

Alternately, you can use multiple message and output file ddnames.
