| First, you delete all of the content in the current dataset, then you can COPY the other dataset's contents in. |

Hello,
When you want "copy" one file over another, make sure that the receiving dataset is specified as OLD not MOD. If you copy using =3.3, the default disposition is often MOD and this will cause the data to be appended rather than written over. |

Pappu,
This should work for you in Batch
| Code: |
//JS00100 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//DDIN DD DSN=YOUR.COPY.FROM.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
//DDOUT DD DSN=YOUR.COPY.TO.FILE,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO IFILE(DDIN) OFILE(DDOUT) REUSE
