IEBGENER requirements

subratarec · Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:07 pm

I have 10 datasets and I want to copy all these to GDG's (I have GDG Base:FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE) in one shot. Can we do that in one shot, maybe by using IEBGENER.

10 dtaasets
---------------------------
FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE1
FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE2
FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE3
;
;
FDWS01.SUB.RESTORE10

TO

GDG's
---------------------------------------
FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0001V00
FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0002V00
FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0003V00
;
;
FDWS01.TEST.RESTORE.G0010V00

I tried and it seems to me that it is not possible but I want to recheck with you all. So is that means in this scenario I have write each step for each file to be copied into GDG??

Hi,
Can you clarify below statement

PeterHolland · Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 12:35 pm

IDCAMS REPRO will do the job.

Hi Surya..

Thanks for fast reply.

Nope the generations are not created. I have only the GDG Base created. But in one job I want to copy all these 10 flat sequential files into GDG's.

if you haven't created the generations,I think you can not finish all the tasks in a single step because you have to firstly create new generation and then you can copy data to the created generation.
I suggest that in each step you create a new generation and then copy data to that generation.In every step a new generation is created and the data is copied into the generation.Doing like this will be clear and make no mistake.

Thanks for your reply.. you mean by using ICETOOL we can copy 10 sequential files into 10 GDG versions ?

Thanks for all your reply.. I have used IDCAMS to resolve this issue

We can do this using IDCAMS - REPRO
Give SYSIN as ->
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INFILE(INDD1) OUTFILE(OTDD1)
REPRO INFILE(INDD2) OUTFILE(OTDD2)
REPRO INFILE(INDD3) OUTFILE(OTDD3)
REPRO INFILE(INDD4) OUTFILE(OTDD4)
REPRO INFILE(INDD5) OUTFILE(OTDD5)
REPRO INFILE(INDD6) OUTFILE(OTDD6)
REPRO INFILE(INDD7) OUTFILE(OTDD7)
REPRO INFILE(INDD8) OUTFILE(OTDD8)
REPRO INFILE(INDD9) OUTFILE(OTDD9)
REPRO INFILE(INDD10) OUTFILE(OTDD10)

Supply input files as INDD1 to INDD10 &
output GDGs as OTDD1 to OTDD10 - [TEST.RESTORE(+1) to TEST.RESTORE(+10)]

But the same thing can be done by using ICETOOL also...what Sambhaji
had suggested me..

Thanks for keeping us posted, yes ICETOOL solution will also work just fine...

And by special request for Sambhaji ...........................

/RANT ON
When talking about GDS it is important to use the correct terminology, as both version and generation are both valid in terms of a GDS.

It is a well known fact that only one version of a GDS may exist at any one time, however, multiple generations may exist together.

Please learn and use the correct terminology when posting, as using the wrong term can cause confusion and possibly delay a resolution to your problem

You may also look at DFdss as a one STEP solution to your request.
