If you are transferring a PDS from one MVS LPAR to another and creating the target PDS, couldn't you use:

I am assuming that you want to send all the members in FTP.V8050.MVS.BUILDJCL to a new PDSE called DRP.V8050.MVS.BUILDJCL.NEW. What I think you need is akin to: -- use the next two if transferring within same z/OS system (don't key in this line) quote site pri=50 sec=20 cyl mkdir 'DRP.V8050.MVS.BUILD.JCL.NEW' (like 'FTP.V8050.MVS.BUILDJCL -- or use the next two if the receiving dataset is on a different z/OS system (don't key in this line) quote site lrecl=? recfm=? pri=50 sec=20 cyl dir=100 pdstype=pdse mkdir 'DRP.V8050.MVS.BUILD.JCL.NEW' -- common commands (don't key in this line) cd 'DRP.V8050.MVS.BUILD.JCL.NEW' lcd 'FTP.V8050.MVS.BUILDJCL' prompt mput * bye You can use the first "quote & mkdir" lines - the one with the "(like ..." - only if the FTP.--- DSN is on the system from which you are doing the ftp, which is not likely. If you're sending from one z/OS to another, then use the "quote site" and the second "mkdir". You must use the "cd" command to direct the output into the DRP.--- dataset. You must use the "lcd" command to read the member from the FTP.--- dataset. I put in the "prompt" command to disable the normal prompt for confirming the transfer of each member. The "mput *' actually transfer the members from the FTP.--- to the DRP.--- dataset. -- UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things. -- Doug Gwyn Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
