Copy and allocate PS file using 3.4

Hi,

I have used to copy the data from a PS file to a new file through 3.4 option as below.

3.4---> before the file name, option '/' ---> option '17' --> enter new file name ---> panel for selecting 'allocate with the same attributes' ---> file will be created.

In my new org, I am not getting the panel to choose 'allocate with the same attributes' instead it is showing 'Data set not cataloged'.

Could anyone help me how to set this on, so that I can copy and allocate the files in the same screen instead going back to 3.2.

There is no such built-in functionality in ISPF. In your previous shop, it was probably a home-written command.

I did give it a try: In my z/OS 1.09 there is no such option. Also, in my other machine with z/OS 1.07 it is not existed.

I believe Prino(Robert) is right, once in 3.4, in front of DSN "/" or not when you hit enter "Data Set List Actions" window is popped up... are we missing something here. I believe it's a standard functionality of ISPF.

Try using CO as a line command on a 3.4 data set list screen. After keying the output data set name, I believe you will get the "allocate with same attributes?" option for an unallocated output data set.

Hello,

What happens if you try to copy the file in 3.3? Does this prompt for the allocation attributes?

What happens if you use a file with a different hlq in 3.4?

Sch,

In 3.3 i am getting the option to allocate with the same attributes. But when i try copy from/to a different qualifier, I am getting error msg.

Expat,

This msg is related to only the output dataset as i am trying to copy to a new file.

Do you have the authority to create a dataset with the different HLQ

Yes. I have authority to create file with HLQ as TEST.*

Hi,

Maybe there was not enough space I guess.. not sure. maybe..
What is the size of the dataset you are trying to copy.?

In our shop, If a user tries to allocate > 400 cylinders in 3.2 it will not be possible.

But through a batch job with its possible. Since it was a site specific restriction.

Thanks & Regards,

this is a bit of an old post but I ran across it trying to find the same answer. And actually I did find out how to create the output file as new .

As mentioned earlier, enter 'CO' next to the dataset you wish to copy.

Then when you get to the 'COPY ENTRY PANEL' make sure that your Options (Sequential Disposition) located near the bottom left, shows OLD (2). If it says MOD (1), change it. Enter your dataset name as you normally would and hit enter.

Select whichever option you want to specify the attributes of the new dataset. You should have now created a new dataset. It worked for me once I changed from MOD to OLD.
