Hi All,

How to copy the members of a PDS based on the changed date. For example If I want to copy the all member of a PDS to another which were changed after July 1st. How would we do that without having to write a program.

I am trying to achieve this using a simple IBM/some Utility. Like IEBCOPY/IEBGENER/PDSFAST/...

Thanks in Advance.

Perhaps you'll find some hints here.

The problem with Akatskami's link is that it still needs programming. Without programming it could well be impossible unless you manuall move the members you want to another PDS and then copy that PDS - but why would you want to do that second copy?

Hello,

Might this be for prompting selected modules from one environment to the next (i.e program development to formal testing or production)?

Unless the system is running some kind of source control system (i.e. Endevor, Changeman, Lib/CCF, etc) i suspect there will have to be some "programming" involved.

Suggest ravikanth check with the support people to see if something already exists (most places have somethng even if it is something written in-house. If something already exists (bought or home-grown), this should be used and some new process not implemented. . .

Possibly there is something i misunderstand.
