How to copy a dataset from TAPE to DASD using JCL

You can use IDCAMS to REPRO a dataset.
Here's a sample JCL.

//REPR1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//INDD DD DSN=MY.TAPE.FILE,DISP=SHR
//OUTDD DD DSN=MY.DISK.FILE,
// DCB=(BLKSIZE=32760,LRECL=32756,RECFM=VB),
// UNIT=(CART,,DEFER),RETPD=90,DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INFILE(INDD) OUTFILE(OUTDD)
/*

Hope this helps.

Hi,
If it's PDS,then IEBCOPY utility can be used.
COPY INDD = input ddname
OUTDD = output ddname

Above holds good for both PDS and PS.

Only a thing: if your file is on tape created as NL or SL and is not visible from your system because you must insert the volume, you must do an analtape to retriev the name of the label of the file that you want to get as input(if you have not the list of previous analtape).

I hope in this suggest.
