imodname

Name of the IMOD to extract.

&LISTn

Name of the list that contains the names of the IMODs to be extracted. See "NAME_LIST" for information on using name lists. If the target data set is sequential, all IMODs in the list will be concatenated in the target data set. If the target data set is a PDS, each IMOD is copied to a separate member. Before beginning any extract, a list of member names is internally generated. The member names are the IMOD names when the IMOD names are eight characters or less. If an IMOD name exceeds eight characters, the member name will be the last eight characters.

If the generated member name list contains any duplicates, the last character is replaced with uppercase A. If this still results in duplication, the last character is replaced with B, C, and so forth, until a unique name is produced. If the alphabet is exhausted and the name is still duplicated, the extract for that IMOD is suppressed.

The ADD/REPLACE operand applies to the generated member names.

ddname1

DDname identifying the source IMOD file.

ddname2

DDname identifying the target file.

ADD

For a PDS operation, specifies that members are to be added only. If the member already exists, the extract is suppressed. This is the default.

REPLACE

For a PDS operation, specifies that members are always to be added. If the member already exists, its content is replaced.

name

For a PDS operation on a single IMOD, the name operand permits you to specify the member name that is assigned in the target PDS. If you omit this operand, the IMOD name is used as the member name. If the IMOD name exceeds eight characters, the last eight characters are used.

ISPF

When extracting to a PDS, requests that ISPF-compatible statistics be maintained in the target data set.

SEQNUM

Adds the IMOD's sequence numbers as comment fields to the start of each record.

DIAG

Copies compiler diagnostic messages along with the source.
