The IEBGENER utility: Generate (copy) a sequential data set Data and storage management on z/OS |
|
The IEBGENER utility is a copy program that has been part of the operating system since the first release of OS/360. One of its many uses is to copy a sequential data set, a member of a partitioned data set (PDS) or PDSE, or a z/OS® UNIX® System Services (z/OS UNIX) file such as a HFS file. IEBGENER also can filter data; change a data set's logical record length (LRECL) and block size (BLKSIZE); and generate records. The most common use is to simply copy data sets. A typical job looks like
this:
//SMITH2 JOB 1,GEOFF,MSGCLASS=X // EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSIN DD DUMMY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=X //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SMITH.SEQ.DATA //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),DSN=SMITH.COPY.DATA,UNIT=3390, // VOL=SER=WORK02,SPACE=(TRK,3,3)) IEBGENER requires four data definition (DD) statements with the DD names
shown in the example:
