Hi,
I want to copy a member from PDS having following allocations:
Organization . . . PO
Record format . . . :U
Record length . . . :80
Block size . . . . :8000
1st extent cylinders:24
Secondary cylinders :5
Data set name type :PDS
to another PDS having following allocations:
Organization . . . PO
Record format . . . :FB
Record length . . . :80
Block size . . . . :8000
1st extent cylinders:30
Secondary cylinders :5
Data set name type :PDS
How can this be achieved?
I have tried simple copy using ISPF option 3.3 but it is not working. |

Hello,
You need to post what "is not working". We can't see your terminal and we cannot read your mind.
Post what you keyed on which screen and what the system returned. Then maybe, we can help. |

I tried to copy member from PDS say A.B.C to say X.Y.Z.
The allocation parameters of PDS A.B.C and X.Y.Z I have already mentioned.
While trying to copy member say PQR from A.B.C to X.Y.Z I used ISPF option 3.3 it asks whether the allocation options:
_ 1.Allocate using the attributes of A.B.C
2.Specify allocation attributes
I chose option 2 and gave the allocation parameters of X.Y.Z.
It throws the error:
"Input/output mismatch" |

unless there a typo in Your original post
You are not allowed to copy between "U" to a "FB" record format

Hello,
Enrico - good catch  - i didn't read closely enough 
Rashmi - when you get the screen asking for attributes, this is a signal that your copy is in trouble. To copy a member from one pds to another (existing) pds, they need to have similar definitions.
If your copy is to create the new pds, then you may use the existing atributes or specify new ones. |

All the member in my pds A.B.C(which is a jcllib) have got converted to 8000-byte length records. I was trying to copy them to a PDS with length 80 so that I could submit the JCL.
Is there any other way how this can be accomplished? |

OK :-) somebody fouled up...
first take a backup copy of Your corrupted PDS
after You can run this step to fix the DCB
| Code: |
//IEB EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD *
USELESS DATA
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your-dsname(DUMMY),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=8000)
|
it should fix Your dcb and make readable the members that were there before the dcb change
regards

Hello,
Possibly someone compiled a program and pointed to this jcllib for the output of the link edit. . . . I'd suggest looking for the bad jcl that caused the problem.
I'll probably repeat this many, many more times. . . .
DO NOT create compile jcl for individuals! Everyone should use standard JCL because of situations just like this. It is very often that the person who causes the problem is not the one who must somehow recover from it. . .  |
