Copy One Member of a PDS (z/OS to z/OS)

This example illustrates three ways to copy a single member of a PDS.

  • In STEP01, the FROM and TO member names are specified in the data set names.
  • In STEP02, the FROM and TO member names are specified in the data set names, with the output member name changed.
  • STEP03 uses the SELECT parameter as part of the FROM clause of the COPY statement, with a new member name specified on the data set name for the destination data set.
    STEP01  COPY  FROM  (DSN=PDS.SOURCE(MEMBER))   -
                  TO    (DSN=PDS.DEST(MEMBER)      -
                         DISP=RPL)
    STEP02  COPY  FROM  (DSN=PDS.SOURCE(OLDMEM))   -
                  TO    (DSN=PDS.DEST(NEWNAME)     -
                         DISP=RPL)  	
    STEP03  COPY  FROM  (DSN=PDS.SOURCE            -
                         SELECT=OLDMEM)            -
                  TO    (DSN=PDS.DEST(NEWNAME)     -
                         DISP=RPL)
