IEBCOPY is a utility that can copy members between PDS datasets. It allows copying all members, selected members, or excluding specific members. It can also replace or rename members during the copy process. The utility can also compress a PDS dataset to free unused space. Example JCL is provided showing how to copy all members, select specific members, exclude members, replace and rename members, and compress a dataset.

2. JCL UTILITIES
 Utility is a component that has specific purpose to be
performed.
let understand an example
 The function key in Window is F5 the purpose is to
refresh the screen this is repeated numbers of times
depending on the need of the use.
 An utility can be reused so it is mentioned as Reusable
number of times.

3. JCL UTILITIES

4. JCL UTILITIES – DATSET UTILITIES
• There are four different operations can be performed using dataset
utilities
• It Reorganize the data in dataset
• It can change the attribute / function in the dataset
• It can compare two datasets, it can be a PS/PDs
• It can be manipulate data in dataset
• Now let see the different utilities
• IEBCOPY,IEBGENER,IEFBR14

5. SYSTEM UTILITIES
• The three different operations system utility can perform are
LIST/CHANGE(listing/changing) the information related to
dataset
• Rename/Delete the dataset (either PS/PDs)
• It can manage Catalogue information or Catalogue entries in
dataset
• Different type of utilities are
• IEHLIST,IEHPROGM

6. SYSTEM UTILITIES
• This utility are used to perform an operation on VSAM Files
• VSAM file is know as virtual storage access method
• IDCAM is name of the utility

7. JCL UTILITIES – IEBCOPY
 IEBCOPY Utility is used to copy members of PDS1 to
another PDS2
 Copy all members from one PDS1 to another PDS2
 We can copy selected members from one PDS1 to
another PDS2
 We can exclude the members from one PDS1 to
another PDS2
 We can compress(compressing is nothing but we are
going to free the unused space in that particular PDS so
the memory is used for next user)

8. COPY ALL MEMBERS FROM PDS TO ANOTHER PDS
We have three DD statements D1,D2 & D3
in INDD we have D1 and D2 is nothing but DD names of the input files
in OUTDD we have D3 is nothing but DD name of output file

9. HOW TO COPY SELECTED MEMBERS
Here selecting particular members from input dataset to output dataset

10. HOW TO REPLACE AND RENAME
TEST1 ---- name of the member copied from input PDS these member will be
renamed as TESTA and copied into output PDS and if you give R here is
nothing but REPLACE
TEST3 --- name of the member copied from input PDS and we don't want to
rename just we copied into output PDS with same name... if TEST3 already
present in output file it just replaced and R here is nothing but REPLACE

11. HOW TO COMPRESS THE PDS FILE
We don't have output dataset in this JCL here we have only one dataset
which is going act as input and output dataset, here it is going to compress
the input dataset

12. AFTER SUBMITTING JOB - SPOOL
After submitting the JCL go to spool and select SYSPRINT here we
have the output of these particular JCL

13. OUTPUT CAPTURE FROM SPOOL

14. COPY ALL MEMBERS
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=(D1,D2),OUTDD=D3
/*

15. SELECTIVE MEMBERS
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=(INOUT1,INOUT2),
OUTDD=INOUT3
SELECT MEMBER=
(TEST1,TEST2,TEST3.TEST14)
/*
//

16. EXCLUDE MEMBERS
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=(INOUT1,INOUT2),
OUTDD=INOUT3
EXCLUDE MEMBER=
(TEST1,TEST2,TEST3.TEST14)
/*
//

17. REPLACE AND RENAME
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=INPUT1,OUTDD=OUT1
SELECT MEMBER
=((TEST1,TESTA,R),(TEST3,,R))
/*
//

18. HOW TO COMPRESS DATASET
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=INPUT1,OUTDD=INPUT1
