Hi,

I have 1000 members in PDS1. I have 2000 members in PDS2(production pds). I have to copy the 1000 from pds1 to pds2. Those 1000 members can be of old or new. So it has to replace in PDS2 if its old and copy it to PDS2 if its new. I tried using IEBCOPY, but could not get the result what I am looking for.

Please assist.

Thanks
Abdul Rafi

This makes no sense -- if you use the REPLACE option with IEBCOPY, it will replace existing members and add new members. So what results did you get that you were not looking for?

what about looking Yourself at the manual for the syntax of the copy replace control statement for iebcopy

hint the first link(*) returned by googling
ibm iebcopy copy replace

Unless there is more complexity than in your description, IEBCOPY can easily do what you want.
Code:
//        EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//I        DD  -- Data set containing only new programs --
//O        DD  -- Data set containing production programs --
//SYSIN    DD  *
 COPY INDD=((I,R)),OUTD=O

You could have easily determined this by actually reading the IEBCOPY documentation in DFSMSdfp Utilities for your z/OS release.

I strongly recommend making a backup of the production data set before you run this copy job.

Without at least minor clarification, or an example, no one in this forum would be able to provide any help.

Why has no one asked why you are not using a change control system for a production library update?
