I've exhausted the FDR docs, and searched... but I'm struggling to come
up with a way to do what I think is a simple task..
I need to create a dump of multiple datasets that
a)exist on multiple SMS volumes
b)accessed via catalog search
c)the output goes to one dataset on disk
Now in DFDSS, its simple, i just code something like
DUMP DATASET(INCLUDE(blah,blah)) OUTDD(OUT) etc etc
I've tried DSF, but it seems to insist on specifying all the input
volumes in JCL and a matching TAPEx DD for the output. Also looked as
FDRAPPL, as it allows catalog search (CATDSN=), but again seems to want
a separate output dataset for each input disk volume, and then even
worse it doesn't allow the output datasets on SMS volumes (FDR324 REASON
R)...
I've used FDR on and off for 20+ years (but not much in the past 5) and
realise that it has its roots as a volume based product, but i find it
hard to beleive that in the SMS world we now live in, it can't do this.
I just can't see a way to do it.. have I missed something?
Regards
Roy
