Copy a PDS Using the ALIAS Parameter with SELECT and EXCLUDE (z/OS to z/OS)
This COPY statement shows how the ALIAS parameter works when other optional parameters are specified.
|
In this example, the data set PDS.SOURCE has the following members and associated aliases:
Members | Aliases |
---|---|
A | A1 A2 |
B | |
C | C1 C2 C3 |
The data set PDS.DEST contained no members and no aliases before the COPY operation. After the COPY operation, PDS.DEST contains the following members and aliases:
Members | Aliases |
---|---|
A | A1 A2 |
C | C1 C2 |
The explanation follows:
- A is copied because it was selected by member name.
- A1 is copied because ALIAS=Y and A1 is an alias for member A.
- A2 is copied because ALIAS=Y and A2 is an alias for member A.
- B is not copied because it was not selected.
- C is copied because ALIAS=Y and C is the true member name for C1.
- C1 is copied because it was selected by member name.
- C2 is copied because ALIAS=Y and C1 (another alias for member C) was selected by member name.
- C3 is not copied because it was specifically excluded.
