Clone a Member many time.

Post by Rashid »

Hi,

I need to copy a member more than 100 times by changiing its name. Is there a simple way of "cloning" the member of a PDS 100 times, with different member names? I'm not sure how can I do that so posting it in JCL Forum.

all depends on the new name rules

You will have to use Your sort product or a rexx script to generate the copy statements

or just use a bit of lateral thinking to do it with a few ispf commands.

( pretty easy if the new names are numbered in sequence )
cheers

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 8-)
