I want to write a job to copy data from one QSAM file to a new file. I can give the DISP=NEW and all that, but I want to make it generic so that while copying the file parameters are picked up from a model file(input file in this case).
Long back a friend had told me about some parameter that does that. If anybody knows how to do that, could you please help?
Thanks

What is all that?
Your question is not at all clear..
Are you trying to look for refer back? |

Perhaps you are thinking of referback:
| Code: |
//GEN EXEC PGM=ICEGENER
//*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=input.dataset
//SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=output.dataset,
// DCB=*.SYSUT1,SPACE=(CYL,(??,?),RLSE)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY |
This will take the DCB info from the input dataset.
Also, you might look into using SYS1.MODELDCB ?

| Or have you read the JCL manual for the LIKE parameter |

Hello,
If all you want is a new PS file with the same dcb addtibutes as the original file, simply copy the file using your sort product. The new file will have the same attributes as the original with nothing needed in the jcl. . .
Maybe there is something i've missed . . . |
