Am I misreading the manual?
It says
"Use the REFDD parameter to specify attributes for a new data set by copying
attributes of a data set defined on an earlier DD statement in the same job.
The following attributes are copied to the new data set from (1) the attributes
specified on the referenced DD statement, and (2) for attributes not specified
on the referenced DD statement, from the data class of the data set specified
by the referenced DD statement:
Data set organization
Record organization (RECORG) or
Record format (RECFM)
Record length (LRECL)
Key length (KEYLEN)
Key offset (KEYOFF)
Type, PDS or PDSE (DSNTYPE)
Space allocation (AVGREC and SPACE)"
But when I try the following (using REFDD on SYSUT2):
//TRANBKP EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(4,LT)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=&XMTENV..RXMTIN.FDR.CCTRAN,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=&DSNENV..FDR.CCTRAN.BKP(+1),
// REFDD=*.SYSUT1,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
It says
IEF344I CCUPDT TRANBKP PROC01 SYSUT2 - ALLOCATION FAILED DUE TO DATA FACILITY
SYSTEM ERROR
IGD17045I SPACE NOT SPECIFIED FOR ALLOCATION OF DATA SET
PROD.FDR.CCTRAN.BKP.G0002V00
IEF272I CCUPDT TRANBKP PROC01 - STEP WAS NOT EXECUTED.
But this works (using LIKE on SYSUT2):
//TRANBKP EXEC PGM=IEBGENER,COND=(4,LT)
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=&XMTENV..RXMTIN.FDR.CCTRAN,
// DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=&DSNENV..FDR.CCTRAN.BKP(+1),
// LIKE=&XMTENV..RXMTIN.FDR.CCTRAN,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
What am I missing?
