Learn something new every day. Another developer created a GDG (PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP) and then a job step that has the following: //STEP02 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,COND=(4,LT) //FILEIN DD DSN=PROD.ONLINE.CONNDEF.PATM, // DISP=SHR //FILEOUT DD DSN=PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP(+1), // LIKE=PROD.ONLINE.CONNDEF.PATM, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) //SYSIN DD DSN=PROD.PARM(REPRO), // DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* I though for sure this would not work, as PROD.ONLINE.CONNDEF.PATM is a VSAM KSDS. But it appears it in fact did work: PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP.G0001V00 PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP.G0001V00.DATA PROD.CONNDEF.PATM.BKP.G0001V00.INDEX
I'm not sure how comfortable I am with it, though. Any harm in doing this? Frank ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
