Hi,

normally in REPRO we can specify one INDD and one OUTDD.....is it possible to copy to more than one file using REPRO in one shot.....

means is it possible to give one INDD and more than OUTDD in the same step.....

thanks in advance....

If you use more than one OUTDD statement in the REPRO ,your job will complete with return code zero.But the other files except the first will be empty.

In order to copy the file successfully,you need to code mulitple statments like below.

REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT01) REUSE
REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT02) REUSE
REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT03) REUSE

Thanks&Regards

Hi,
Please see the 2 options available with REPRO.

REUSE--->Used to reload the data

REPLACE-->Replace the existing data.

Hope this info is enough.

If you need more info try QW RERPO on command line.You can see a lot of info.

Thanks

Hi,

REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT01)
REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT02)
REPRO INFILE(IN01) OUTFILE(OUT03)

is enough for your requirement. If the Output file is a VSAM file then only the option REUSE is valid. And also that Output VSAM file should be created with the property 'REUSE'

Thanks
Suresh.
