This was the original question:
Could any one let me know how to copy the contents of all the members inside the PDS(without listing out the members inside the PDS in the job) to a flat file.
My intention was just to help the person who has asked the original question incase he has still not found the solution to this. |

edit the pds member, enter 'A' at the line after which you want the new data positioned and enter COPY on the commandline. Depress ENTER.
fill out the panel. |

Actually I tried using IDCAMS as follows:
| Code: |
//PS010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//INFILE DD DSN=PRGSD1.PCDATF.ADHERIS.TEMP,DISP=SHR
//OUTFILE DD DSN=PRGSD1.CTL.LIB(PCAD004Z),
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=8000),
// UNIT=CARDA,
// SPACE=(CYL,(500,500),RLSE) |
but it says 'PRGSD1.CTL.LIB' already exists.
I want tp copy the contents of flat file into the member PCAD004Z, |

| Use DISP=OLD for guaranteed results, or DISP=SHR if you're sure nobody else can be updating the PDS at the same time. DISP applies to the data set, not to the member -- as many have discovered the hard way by attempting to code DISP=(OLD,DELETE) to get rid of a member (the data set goes away instead). |

Thanks a lot to all of you!!!! 
It's working with DISP=OLD, Just being more specific,you have to give the same length of the PDS (as well as PDS member) as that of the flat file. |
