Printing with DSN1COPY

If you want to print one or more pages without invoking the utility’s copy function, use DSN1PRNT to avoid unnecessary reading of the input file.

About this task

When you use DSN1COPY for printing, you must specify the PRINT parameter. The requested operation takes place only for the specified data set. If the input data set belongs to a nonpartitioned table space or index space that is larger than 2 GB, specify the correct data set. Alternatively, if it is a partitioned table space or partitioned index, specify the correct data set. For example, DSN1COPY prints a page range in the second partition of a four-partition table space. DSN1COPY does this by specifying NUMPARTS(4) and the data set name of the second data set in the VSAM group (DSN=...A002).

To print a full image copy data set (rather than recovering a table space), specify a DUMMY SYSUT2 DD statement, and specify the FULLCOPY parameter.
