COPY Examples

Example 1

COPY can restrict the number of records copied in several ways. The following example syntax demonstrates how to filter out records from the copy process by using selection criteria. Only records that have the character string DENVER starting in position 23 are copied to the output file.

COPY,
  SELRECIF(23,EQ,C'DENVER')

Example 2

You can also use COPY to copy selected members from a PDS to another PDS or a sequential file. This example syntax copies member IDCAMS, any members that match the member pattern IEB*, and all members that begin with A, B or C to the PDS referenced by the ddname OUTMBRS, replacing duplicate members.

COPY,
  MEMBER(IDCAMS,IEB*,A*-C*),
  OUTFILE(OUTMBRS),
  REPLACEMEM(YES)

Example 3

Displayed in the following example syntax is the output file created when copying PDS members to a sequential file.

COPY,
  MEMBER(TEST*)

The output file created in this case is:

CA File Master Plus      AD1DEV.ABCRO10.MEMBERS                         Column
