Hello and good morning everybody,

in my JCL proc library I stored some members, let's call'em ALPHA001, BRAVO001, CHARLY01 - and some more.
I'd like do generate circa ten duplicates of them in this library - first of all without caring their content.
Thought I could use IEBCOPY for this that provides "Rename Member While Copying PDS To PDS".
So I tried
Code:
COPY INDD=INLIB,OUTDD=OUTLIB                           
 SELECT MEMBER=((ALPHA001,ALPHA002),(ALPHA001,ALPHA003),
                (ALPHA001,ALPHA004),
                (BRAVO001,BRAVO002),(BRAVO001,BRAVO003),
                (BRAVO001,BRAVO004),
                (CHARLY01,CHARLY02),(CHARLY01,CHARLY03),
                (CHARLY01,CHARLY04))

- both, with and withou continuation sign comma and / or dash.
Note: INLIB and OUTLIB are assigned to the same DSN, both with DISP=SHR.

Sorry, but I was not able to find really proper samples or a unambigous railroad diagram.
So I try and try and try - and error and error and error
» IEB137I CAN NOT SPECIFY DUPLICATE MEMBER NAMES FOR SELECT/EXCLUDE/RENAME
» IEB107I INVALID CONTINUATION
» IEB106I UNEQUAL PARENTHESIS

It seems one of my problems is the limitation of 72 chars each line.
But may I start coding the member names (old,new) in col 20 or so or must I start coding the following member name lines at a specific col further left?

And it seems the only way to be successful is to code a single copy statement for each duplicate.

Is there no other way to specify lots of selected source members and their renamed duplicates?

» Which manual? Where in the web can I find it / its PDF?
» Where is the "X" you mentioned documentated?
» What about the problem with IEB137I CAN NOT SPECIFY DUPLICATE MEMBER NAMES FOR SELECT/EXCLUDE/RENAME

From DFSMSdfp Utilities manual

To continue the copy control statement, stop at a comma. Put any nonblank character in column 72 and start in column 16 on the next record.

Thanks, that was helpful, solves most of my problems / questions.
But unfortunately did not solve the question IEB137I

But this works o.k. this way:
Code:
   COPY INDD=INLIB,OUTDD=OUTLIB                                         
    SELECT MEMBER=((ALPHA001,ALPHA002,R),                              X
              (BRAVO001,BRAVO002,R),                                   X
              (CHARLY01,CHARLY02,R))                                   
   COPY INDD=INLIB,OUTDD=OUTLIB                                         
    SELECT MEMBER=((ALPHA001,ALPHA003,R),                              X
              (BRAVO001,BRAVO003,R),                                   X
              (CHARLY01,CHARLY03,R))                                   
   COPY INDD=INLIB,OUTDD=OUTLIB                                         
    SELECT MEMBER=((ALPHA001,ALPHA003,R),                              X
              (BRAVO001,BRAVO004,R),                                   X
              (CHARLY01,CHARLY04,R))

yes ... it did

what was not clear in the error message you received

Quote:
IEB137I CAN NOT SPECIFY DUPLICATE MEMBER NAMES FOR SELECT/EXCLUDE/RENAME


which is a different way of saying
CAN NOT SPECIFY MULTIPLE TIMES THE SAME MEMBER NAME IN A SELECT/EXCLUDE/RENAME CLAUSE
so you have no reason to complain

Basically you can also use IDCAMS REPRO IDS/ODS for your requirement.

I much prefer the REPRO subcommand of the PDS86 program in file 182 at CBTTAPE.ORG .
