IEBGENER: o Allows the programmer to omit (some) attributes from SYSUT2, in which case they are (optionally) replicated from SYSUT1 o Requires that supplied attributes of SYSUT2 be compatible with SYSUT1. REPRO: o Requires that the programmer supply (more) attributes of the output file o Allows the attributes of the output file to differ (more) from the inout file.

PDSE and/or newer releases of z/OS may be more robust. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
