IEBCOPY, IEBGENER, and it is all documented in the utilities manual.

Click the button "IBM Manuals" found at the top of almost every page, and have a good peruse.

I have understood that it can be done, also it is written that we have to use the replace (R) option on an INDD or COPY statement. but no example is provided. Can anyone please provide an example how to use R option on COPY statement.........

Code:
COPY OUTDD=SYSUT2,INDD=((SYSUT1,R))
SYSUT1 and SYSUT2 can be any names you wish to use -- as long as the JCL matches.

Why are you not looking such a simple thing up in the manual yourself? The manual can be reached on the manuals link at the top of this page.

Ah, Robert, the OP has categorically stated that no example exists. However, I like yourself had obviously at some time in the past read the manual thoroughly and adopted that fast dying technique

TRIAL AND ERROR

TBH, not sure if I could have worked it out myself from here though icon_rolleyes.gif
Quote:
INDD=[(]{DDname|(DDname,R)}[,...][)]
specifies the names of DD statements that locate the input data sets.
When an INDD= appears in a record by itself (that is, not with a COPY keyword), it functions as a control statement and begins a new step in the current COPY operation.

These values can be coded:


DDname
the ddname of the DD statement for the input data set. For an unload operation, only one ddname should be specified per COPY statement. If more than one ddname is specified for a copy or load operation, the input data sets are processed in the same sequence as the ddnames are specified.

R
specifies that all members to be copied or loaded from this input data set are to replace any identically named members on the output partitioned data set. (In addition, members whose names are not on the output data set are copied or loaded as usual.) When this option is specified, the ddname and the R parameter must be enclosed in a set of parentheses; if it is specified with the first ddname in INDD, the entire field, exclusive of the INDD parameter, must be enclosed in a second set of parentheses.

Show us the JCL and control statements that you have created and let us know where you are getting problems, posting output to show these errors.

Take a look at the syntax given to you by Robert.
Then use a simple SELECT MEMBER= card like
Code:
 SELECT MEMBER=name


or use the format of SELECT card that you are currently using, BUT, read the manual very carefully regarding syntax when using REPLACE on a SELECT statement.

Ok now I know what it does and how to do it
Actually "SELECT MEMBER=((INPUT,JCL,R))" select statement will copy the contents of INPUT member of PDS1 and put in the member JCL of PDS2, even if the JCL is already present in PDS2, it will just overrite the contents of the member JCL, and if a new member name is given example JCL2(in second parameter of select statement) then it will create a new member JCL1 and put contents of INPUT to the JCL1.......
Thanks guys :-)

Another think which I would like to add here is that if we write
"SELECT MEMBER=((JCL,JCL,R))" statement it will give MAXCC=4 and the updated member JCL (first parameter in select) form input PDS will not be copied to output JCL member of PDS2
Any idea how to do it will be greatly appreciated......

Hi,

the correct syntax for copying and replacing an existing member using your code is
Code:
SELECT MEMBER=((JCL,,R))


Also the other issue you are having is you cannot use MOD for a PDS.

If i write the above select statement then the JCL member form PDS1 will be copied to the R member in PDS2, what actually I want is that yhe JCL member from PDS1 should be copied to JCL member in PDS2.....

I believe that all this says is that when an incorrect control statement is submitted, incorrct results occur. . .
