Import a Cluster to a Volume Other Than One on Which It Was Originally Defined: Example 5

In this example, a key-sequenced cluster, MPS.IMPORT.CLUSTER, is imported from a portable file, CLUSBACK. The cluster is imported to a volume other than the one in which it was originally defined.

//IMPORT   JOB  ...
//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=A
//PORTDS   DD   DSNAME=CLUSBACK,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=339001,DISP=OLD
//SYSIN    DD   *
      IMPORT -
           INFILE(PORTDS) -
           OUTDATASET(MPS.IMPORT.CLUSTER) -
           OBJECTS((MPS.IMPORT.CLUSTER -
             VOLUMES(339002))) -
           CATALOG(ICFUCAT1)
/*

Job control language statement:

• PORTDS DD describes the portable data set, CLUSBACK.

The IMPORT command's parameters are:

• INFILE points to the PORTDS DD statement.
• OUTDATASET gives the name of the data set being imported.
• OBJECTS changes some of the attributes for the object being imported:
  • MPS.IMPORT.CLUSTER identifies the key-sequenced cluster.
  • VOLUMES identifies the new volume on which the cluster is to reside.
• CATALOG identifies the catalog, ICFUCAT1, to contain the cluster's catalog entry.
