Hi,
I am working on editing a file. I want to create a new file and copy the edited data in the new file instead of the original so that if there are any mistakes the data is not lost.

How do i create a PS file which has the same parameters as the datafile being used and copy all the contents of the datafile into the ps file.

with regards,
surya

Use ALLOC to allocate the file, and invoke IEBGENER to copy it.

There is a link to the IBM manuals as a post near the top of the forum, or you can browse the manuals by using the MANUALS button at the top of the forum page.
