Duplicating to a New Name

When you enter the DUPLICATE command with the NEWNAME option, a new dataview definition is created with the same parameters, fields, and keys (for VSAM files) as the original dataview. The Identification fill‑in displays so you can enter the identification information to record in the dictionary.

When you enter any information on the Identification fill‑in, you can press the PF5 (Field) key to display the Field Definition fill‑in in edit mode. You can make any changes, using any of the function keys, just as you would when creating a dataview definition.
