From production to test? Are you creating test data from live
data? Do you want to move or to copy?
The IDCAMS EXPORT command will copy records and catalog info
to a flat file; use the PERM option to delete the file on the
original system after the copy has been made (this is the
default).
The IDCAMS IMPORT command will create a new version of your
VSAM file from an EXPORT-ed source. At IMPORT time you can
override some characteristics (such as volume serial(s))
using the OBJECTS parameter.
These can be done in batch jobs or as TSO commands. Make
sure the original data is not being used at the time you
do the EXPORT (so you don't lose recent updates).
Kind regards,
