You can give an IF cond there to check RC from any perticular step.
Like... IF (STEPX.RC=1001 OR STEPX.RC=1004)....

Hi,
When u r copying data from one PDS to PS you have to mention the Member name and it will copy only that menber in that PS.
Please correct me if I m wrong.
Regards

I remember sometimes back,
one PDS got accidentally deleted from the system. When we tried to recover it with the back up version (0) using Hrecover, we got a PS which contains appended members. We did cut-copy-paste to recreate the members. So I strongly feel, if there is any utility which wud copy PDS to PS (without mentioning the member), it will append all members in the PS. Correct me if I am wrong.
Certainly File-Aid is one utility a product of COMPUWARE. |
