Copying an executable module from a PDS

z/OS UNIX System Services User's Guide
SA23-2279-00

If the load module is in a partitioned data set (PDS), you can do one of these:
  • Use OPUTX. If the source data set is a PDS with an undefined record format, OPUTX treats the members as load modules. In order for the program to be able to run from the file hierarchy, the entry point must be at the beginning of the load module.

    In order for OPUTX to treat the file as a load module, do not specify BINARY or TEXT. Once the module is in the file system, use chmod to make it executable. If you replace an existing file, the permissions are unchanged.

  • Use JCL that invokes the binder before you copy the module into the file system. See the following example for sample JCL.
