Hi,

Can anyone send me the JCL which is used to copy the first three members of the input PDS to the output PDS.

Thanks
Vijay

You'll need to use IEBCOPY. However, you're going to have to tell it what the names of the first three members are. There is no built-in feature for that.

hi

you can use the IEBCOPY ibm utility for that. but there is utility to copy only the first three members only.
In the IEBCOPY jcl just code

//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2
SELECT MEMBER=(MEMBER1, MEMBER2. ..)
/*
//

Hi Kishore,

Thanks for the reply but i need to copy the first 3 members without specifying their names. Is it possible.

You somehow have to provide them. You'll have to use a program or a script to determine what the names of the first three members are. Then, they can be plugged into the ICETOOL control statements.
