Hello there,

Can you help me with a statement that will copy an entire library with all of her members into a new one?

I need to compress a cics library so before the compression i want to copy the library and her members (with all the info) to another library.

Thanks,
SysProg

Sysprog,

If your shop has FILEAID, you could use the follwoing -

(1) Goto 3.3 (UTILITIES -> COPY). Provide FROM and TO dataset names.
(2) In the next screen, provide the attributes of TO dataset or let as it is.
(3) At the bottom of the screen, give N for DISPLAY MEMBER SELECTION LIST.

Hey Murali,

About the fileaid - thanks, I know this process and I did it.
But I need a Job that does the same so I could run it automatically without any human interference.

Do you familiar with a job like that?

Thanks again
SysProg

// EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//IN DD DSN=IN,DISP=SHR
//OUT DD DSN=OUT,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// DCB=(IN),SPACE=(CYL,(1,1,10),RLSE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
COPY OUTDD=OUT,INDD=IN

Give the directory blocks in SPACE parameter as required.

Hello,

After you run the IEBCOPY, it is advisable to verify the content of your copy before doing anything to the original pds. Going into tso/ispf 3.4 and browsing the dataset would be sufficient.
