NEED SOME HELP WITH IEBCOPY

2009-03-13 Thread Howard Rifkind
Need some help with IEBCOPY, I have a number of flat files which I want to copy to tape and then back down to DASD on another system. Would anyone out on the list have a sample job to do this which the are willing to share? Any help would be appreciated...Friday night and I would like to

Instead of using IEBCOPY to copy a bunch of files, you can use DFDSS and mask the data to copy/dump them to tape and then perform another copy from the tape to the other system. If the catalogs are not shared, and an alias is not built, then the copy to the other system can use the rename or

You probably want to use IEBGENER if the files are truly flat files. Here is a starter set of JCL for you: //TOTAPE EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUT1 DD DSN=input.dsn,DISP=SHR //SYSUT2 DD DSN=output.dsn,UNIT=TAPE,DISP=(,CATLG) //SYSINDD DUMMY //FROMTAPE EXEC

Howard, You probably want IEBGENER if the files are sequential. You only want IEBCOPY if the files are PDS's. Someone mentioned using DFDSS. If you have FDR, you can use FDRCOPY. To use IEBGENER, you just need a SYSUT1 DD for the input, SYSUT2 DD for the output, and a SYSPRINT for the

Howard, First, if by 'flat files' you mean sequential files, then I don't think IEBCOPY is want you want. You should use IEBGENER to copy flat/sequential files. But, for IEBCOPY, here's an example: //S1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD

Carole, RMM keeps last change details for all its records. However all the LISTxxx subcommands do not list it consistently. The extract file does have it all in a fixed place in each extract record type. Look at RKLCUID here

Another option if your systems are on the network is to use FTP between them (assuming you have FTP setup which is very easy) Lionel B. Dyck, Consultant/Specialist Enterprise Platform Services, Mainframe Engineering KP-IT Enterprise Engineering 925-926-5332 (8-473-5332) | E-Mail:

Can't seem to get this to work. Can anyone see what I'm missing? Seems that the OUT is the issue. IEF344I E18823X STEP01 OUT - ALLOCATION FAILED DUE TO DATA FACILITY SYSTEM ERROR IGD17045I SPACE NOT SPECIFIED FOR ALLOCATION OF DATA SET E18823.CAI.COMSERV.PTF.QO94053

Seeing that it is complaining that SPACE wasn't specified, my first guess would be that your ACS routines are ignoring the UNIT=HCRT and assigning the dataset to a DASD volume, rather than a tape. === Wayne Driscoll Omegamon DB2 L3 Support/Development

Howard, I would think that either the HCRT is not recognized, the USERID is not authorized to use HCRT or that the HLQ is directed to dasd. You need to check your ACS routines. One way is to use ISMF Option 7.3 TEST. Set up a quick test with the HQL or dataset and see what the SMS ACS routines

Howard, One more point. I went back through the IBM Main Archives and you had this same issue on Oct 2008 and Dec 2008. I did not see how you resolved the issue with the HCD or SMS issues. Do you know how you resolved your issue from Dec 2008? Did someone change your HCD so HCRT is not valid?

Again thanks to all who chipped in on this. The problem was for both IEBCOPY and IEBGENER an HLQ issue. It appears that I can't allocate tape datasets with my HLQ. My manager gave me one which worked out. Lizette Koehler stars...@mindspring.com 3/13/2009 7:21 PM Howard, I would think

Mark, First, this exit is NOT called from OAM. It is called real early during device allocation; after all that is what is for. If a requested volume (tape or dasd) is not either online or inside a robot - this exit is called. It is called by the initiator if the request if via JCL; it is called

The way I've dont this in the past is from within an IEFUJI or IEFUSI exit routine, leaving JES2 control blocks out of the picture. You can use SJFREQ to update the SWB with the new writer name. Of course, all this must be done before the files are allocated. Dan D - Original Message
