Explaining Example -

  • SYSUT1 DD DSN=MATEPK.IEBCOPY.INPPDS - Specifies the input PDS and resides on the volume STRVL2.
  • SYSUT2 DD DSN=MATEPK.IEBCOPY.OUTPDS,.. - Specifies the output new PDS and creating on the volume DEVHD4.
  • COPY INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2 - Copies all members from SYSUT1 to SYSUT2. Both input and output PDS are on different volumes.
