Try:
"ALLOC F(OUT) DA('kv07342.file3.input') NEW LIKE('kv07342.file1.input')"
Attributes from the input file will be used to define the new output file

Hi,
I have a problem in using the above code.
It gives me the below error when I try to execute the above code for copying all the records from input dataset to output dataset

IRX0553E The input or output file IN must be allocated to a sequential data
set, or single member of a partitioned data set.
IRX0670E EXECIO error while trying to GET or PUT a record.

Can anyone Pls help me out.

Thanks
Sri

It looks like you haven't properly allocated a QSAM dataset to IN.

During EXECIO:
If the file is not allocated, you receive message IRX0555E.
If the file is a PDS, you receive message IRX0552E.
If the file is VSAM, you receive message IRX0553E.

Make sure the file is not already allocated. If it is, use "FREE F(IN)" before the ALLOC.
