Hi all,
I had used the below command to copy the VSAM in to QSAM.
"REPRO INDATASET('"VSAM-FILE"') OUTDATASET('"QSAM-FILE"')"
But if the VSAM file is allocated in the online region the above command is getting failed by throwing the message that dataset is in use. 
But im just trying to only take a copy of it.
Is there any other way to copy VSAM in to QSAM even if it allocated in online regions? |

Hello,
Does your jcl have disp=old? If so, you might try disp=shr. |

Hi Anuj,
If "something" has disp=old, it has "locked" the dataset. Nothing special about vsam and cics that i'm aware of.
This is similar to the "dataset in use" that happens fairly often in tso/ispf. |

Hi Dick,
Thanks for your response.. 
The same VSAM file i can copy through Fileaid tool. But if try to repro it using the REXX it is throwing the message that file in use. Is there any other way to copy the VSAM using REXX? |

Hi,
try using
| Code: |
| REPRO INFILE(FILEIN) OUTFILE(FILEOUT) |
When using INDATASET I'm pretty sure it wants exclusive access to the file.
Don't forget you now need to add the 2 DD names to the JCL
//FILEIN DD DSN=input file
//FILEOUT DD DSN=output file

| Note: The command "REPRO INDATASET('"VSAM-FILE"') OUTDATASET('"QSAM-FILE"')" i didnt used it in JCl....I used it in REXX without the help of JCL. |

Gerry, you're right. I just double-checked with the IDCAMS manual.
| Quote: |
INDATASET(entryname)
specifies the name of the entry to be copied or user catalog to be merged. If INDATASET is specified, the entryname is dynamically allocated with a disposition of OLD.
|
Manigandan Aravindhan, it appears that you'll have to allocate VSAM-FILE so you can specify a disposition of SHR, and then use INFILE instead of INDATASET. |

Hi all,
You people might have heard about SYSB utility which is used to repro a VSAM file when it is being used in CICS region.
I'hv done it somedays back but i dont remember its actual syntax.
in that we need to give region name and some other info.
Please correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks n Regards,
ajay |

Hello,
Do you have a question?
It is not clear if you are looking for something or are just mentioning some site-specific utility? |

I think that you must close the vsam file in CICS, because I remember doing this 10 years ago, when we need to access the same vsam file outside CICS region.
The comand to do this is:
| Code: |
CEMT I FILE (FIAVMNT)
|
Where FIAVMNT is the name that is associated with the DSName that you want to access
Or if you don't know the external name you could put an * between () and look for the pair of lines that contains the DSName of the file that you want
Then in the statement below you must override Ope with Clo and Ena with Dis and press Enter
| Code: |
I FILE (FIAVMNT)
STATUS: RESULTS - OVERTYPE TO MODIFY
Fil(FIAVMNT ) Vsa Ope Ena Rea Upd Add Bro Del Sha
Dsn( XXXX.YYYYST.FIAVMNT )
