Hi,
I want to create a sequential data set from a partitioned library. This partitioned library has a lot of members. Is there a way to do it? Please help me out. Thanks.
Convert a PDS to a sequential file.

When I tell somebody to RTFM or STFW I usually have the page open in another tab/window of my browser,
so that I am sure that the information requested can be reached with a very small effort

Re: Convert a PDS to a sequential file.
If you don't need to use the sequential file for anything, IEBCOPY can create a sequential data set from a PDS. The LRECL is different and the only way to use the sequential data set is with IEBCOPY, but it does create a sequential data set. If you are wanting to copy the sequential data set using FTP or other transfer utility, the sequential data set must be transferred using binary as it contains non-printing characters.
If you need to be able to use the sequential data set with another program, you are most likely going to have to copy -- member by member -- the PDS.
