Using more than one COPY statement

You can use more than one control statement for COPY in one Db2 utility job step.

About this task

After each COPY statement executes successfully:

A row that refers to each image copy is recorded in the SYSIBM.SYSCOPY table.
The image copy data sets are valid and available for RECOVER, MERGECOPY, COPYTOCOPY, and UNLOAD.

If a job step that contains more than one COPY statement abends, do not use TERM UTILITY. Restart the job from the last commit point by using RESTART instead. Terminating COPY by using TERM UTILITY in this case creates inconsistencies between the ICF catalog and Db2 catalogs.
