PO
specifies that the data set organization is partitioned.
PS
specifies that the data set organization is physical sequential.

Usage Notes

  1. Do not code the DSORG parameter in the FROM section. If you do so and the data set’s data control block (DCB) information is incompatible with the information contained in the DSORG parameter, the transfer will fail.
  2. For a list of parameters that can be used to allocate a new data set, see Parameters That Require Other Parameters.

Example

Copy the data set MAYDATA to the new data set JUNEDATA and specify that the organization of the JUNEDATA is partitioned. Use the TSO prefix (BDT). 
BDT Q  FROM DATASET(MAYDATA) LOCATION(KGN01) DAP(PDS)
       TO DATASET(JUNEDATA) LOCATION(KGN02)
       NEW DSORG(PO)
