To copy multiple members from one dataset to another, you can setup a PROC that would just take member names. If you would like some samples let me know.
But IEBGENER with Symbolic SYSUT1 and SYSUT2 will do what you want. Then if you know REXX, you can create a REXX that will build the JCL very quickly. If there are patterns in the names of the datasets or members, it makes that process even easier.

Group, I have a copy of the old TSO DATA Utilities SC28-6765-4. I have it working. It helps when you can find documentation. We do not have the help file loaded and I didn't have a book or know what I was talking about. I am still learning more about the MVS utilities. I did learn about SMC (SMCOPY - documented in the TSO/E User's Guide etc.) thanks to Greg's post. I was asked why I would use such an old thing. I came from the VM/VSE side of the house and have been using COPY for a while on MVS. I now know about SMCOPY and should probably use that. The goal is to run a batch job to distribute files. The first job took a printer definition and split it into two different printer definitions so job class would now select which one to use. I have over 500 printer members and didn't want any more practice with the 3.3 panel utility. Thanks again for all the help and suggestions, Dave -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of R.S.

What goal is to be achieved? If we talk about copying files in batch, then tools like IEBGENER, ICEGENER, IEBCOPY, IDCAMS, DSS come to mind. If we talk about some abstract excercise then I give up. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
