Example 13: Convert a Partitioned Data Set to a PDSE

z/OS DFSMSdfp Utilities
SC23-6864-00

In this example, a partitioned data set is converted to a PDSE.
  //CONVERT   JOB  ...
  //STEP1     EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
  //SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=A
  //SYSUT1    DD  DSNAME=PDSSET,DISP=SHR,DSNTYPE=PDS
  //SYSUT2    DD  DSNAME=PDSESET,LIKE=PDSSET,DSNTYPE=LIBRARY,
  //          DISP=(NEW,CATLG),STORCLAS=SCLASX,DATACLAS=DCLASY
The control statements are discussed below:
  • SYSUT1 DD defines the input data set, PDS, which is a partitioned data set.The DSNTYPE keyword has no effect because it is an existing data set.
  • SYSUT2 DD defines the output data set, PDSE, which is a partitioned data set extended. This new data set will be SMS-managed because it has a storage class.

    The LIKE parameter indicates that the DCB and SPACE attributes for PDSESET are to be copied from PDSSET. The DSNTYPE parameter defines the new data set as a PDSE rather than as a partitioned data set. DATACLAS=DCLASY identifies the PPDSE as a program object PDSE with undefined logical record length.

    The Storage Management Subsystem chooses an appropriate volume for the allocation, based on how SCLASX was defined.

  • Since the ddnames "SYSUT1" and "SYSUT2" are used to define the input and output data sets, no SYSIN data set is required.
