Output Statement

The OUTPUT command is used to direct the location of the new output VSAM dataset. This command has the same syntax and usage as the RESTORE command.

Since the OUTPUT operation is part of MOVE (VSAM to VSAM), the following functions currently supported by RESTORE are not relevant and, therefore, are not supported with the OUTPUT function. The OUTPUT command supports all RESTORE optional parameters with the exception of the following:

Note: For more detail on the RESTORE command parameters, see the chapter "RESTORE."

An example of the OUTPUT command is as follows:

OUTPUT
CLUSTER
 CL= HILVLNOD.FAVR.VSAM1               *AMS     -
 CLUSTER(NAME (HILVLNOD.FAVR.VSAM1))  -
            VOLUMES(PACK_1)
