Friends,

Can we copy VSAM File to GDG Member using REPRO?

Thanks

Yes, why would you have any doubt?

Hello dinakarpotu and welcome to the forums,

In REPRO you cannot directly reference GDG with brackets (??).

However you can give the GDG full name like qual1.qual2.G000xxvxx in the repro command.

But you can use REPRO infile(ddname) outfile(ddname) and the ddname can be GDG.

But, for such a simple task to perform, why did you not test it yourself using a small test file before posting the thread.

Devzee REPRO has recognised GDG with brackets
I was able to do REPRO for VSAM to GDG Member

//STEP2OF4 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=1024K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OLD DD DSN=TMS623.DINAKAR.TEST.VSAM,DISP=OLD
//NEW DD DSN=TQTSGD00.DINAKAR.GDG(+1),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// UNIT=DASD,SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE),
// DCB=(DPXXCD00.GDGMODEL,RECFM=FB,LRECL=4)
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO -
INFILE(OLD) -
OUTFILE(NEW)
