In this example, members and their aliases (groups) are copied from a PDSE to a PDSE (full data set copy). See Copying Program Objects (COPYGRP and COPYGROUP Statements) for information about copying groups.

  //CPYGRP    JOB  ...
  //STEP1     EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
  //SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=A
  //DDIN      DD  DSNAME=PDSESETA,DISP=SHR
  //DDOUT     DD  DSNAME=PDSESETB,LIKE=PDSESETA,DSNTYPE=LIBRARY,

The control statements are discussed below:

• DDIN DD defines the input data set, PDSESETA, which is a partitioned data set extended.

  DDOUT DD defines the output data set, PDSESETA, which is a partitioned data set extended.

  The LIKE subparameter indicates that the DCB and SPACE attributes for PDSESETB are to be copied from PDSESETA. The DSNTYPE subparameter defines the new data set as a PDSE.

  The Storage Management Subsystem chooses an appropriate volume for the allocation.

• SYSUT3 DD defines a temporary spill data set.
• SYSIN DD defines the control data set, which follows in the input stream. The data set contains a COPYGRP statement, an INDD statement, and an OUTDD statement.
• COPYGRP indicates the start of the copy operation.

  The INDD parameter shows PDSESETA as the input data set.

  The OUTDD parameter shows PDSESETB as the output data set.
