i want to copy input from one ps to another ps.
i wrote a small code in c for copying records in output ps.

but i want to specify the output dataset name in compile JCL DD statment.

the program compilation is successful but the output is not getting copied in the output ps.

i am sending the code and compile jcl.
i wanted to knw if i am specifying the DD corectly

compile JCL :

Code:

//BMXSRP05 JOB (DVLP,BMX),'BMX',USER=BMXSRP,CLASS=A,   
//             MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=BMXSRP                 
//*                                                     
//* COMPILE, BIND AND RUN                               
//*                                                     
//DOCLG    EXEC  CBCXCBG,                               
//         INFILE='BMXSRP.CDDFIL.PGM(CPGM005)',         
//         CPARM='OPTFILE(DD:CCOPT)'                   
//DDNAM    DD  DSN=BMXSRP.PS.DYNAMIC,DISP=MOD           
//COMPILE.CCOPT DD *                                   
          LSEARCH('BMXSRP.SCS.HEADER')                 
          SEARCH('CEE.SCEEH.+','CBC.SCLBH.+')           
/*                                                     


C CODE :
Code:

#include <stdio.h>                                         
#include <stdlib.h>                                       
                                                           
#define READMODE   "rb,recfm=fb,lrecl=80,type=record"     
#define WRITEMODE  "wb,recfm=fb,lrecl=80,type=record"     
                                                           
#define INFILE1         "DD:DDNAM"                         
                                                                                 
int main()                                                 
{                                                         
  FILE *fp;                                               
  fp = fopen(INFILE1,WRITEMODE);                           
  fputs("ritesh",fp);                                     
  fclose(fp);                                             
  return 0;       
}

My only question is why did you bother to write this when there are many utilities already in place to copy file to file ?

IEBGENER and SORT immediately spring to mind.

C programs and MVS files coexist, sort of. You need to review the requirements carefully -- there are ways to do what you want but the manual needs to be referenced to ensure you do it correctly. For example, I thought fputs worked with null-terminated strings; just how do you get a null-terminated string from an input file record?

You need to open both files, read a record from the input file, and write to the output file, repeating until EOF -- which implies a loop is needed. Remember that files under Unix (and C) are not anything like MVS files.
