This behaviour gives a simple, and little known/used, method of running a compress without control cards.
1. Allocate SYSUT1 to your PDS 2. SYSUT2 DSN=*.SYSUT1 3. Omit SYSIN Runs a compress of SYSUT1 Regards, Mike Mike Wawiorko Global z Connectivity and Automation Engineering Global Technology Infrastructure and Services Barclays Bank Ground Floor (B4), Turing House, Radbroke Hall, WA16 9EU (Mail Van 49) Tel: +44(0)1565 615415 or internal 7-2000-5415 Mobile: 07824527120 Email: mailto:mike.wawio...@barclays.com P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Mary Anne Matyaz Sent: 16 February 2012 12:12 To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: IEBCOPY with I/O error on SYSIN Paul, IEBCOPY is documented (and functions) as generating a SYSIN if none exists, if it's dummied, or if it's an empty file. Not sure what category a 'bad' file fits into, but I would guess it's essentially 'omitted'. If you feel strongly about it you could open a Share requirement. >From DFP Utilities: "When the SYSIN DD statement is a DD DUMMY, points to an empty file, or is omitted, IEBCOPY will generate a COPY statement that allows you to run IEBCOPY without supplying a control statement data set for SYSIN."
