COPYDSN


Use this option to specify the name of an image copy data set.

The data set name cannot be a PDS or member of a PDS. You can use relative GDG members in the data set name (for example, (0) or (-1)).

The data set can be on tape or disk, but it must be cataloged. The data set must be either sequential or a VSAM linear data set. During the unload process, BMC AMI Unload dynamically allocates the data set with a DISP=SHR, if sequential, or DISP=OLD, if VSAM.

Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to this option:

  • When unloading from an image copy, you cannot specify multiple partitions with the PARTS option.
  • Do not use MODE(DB2SQL) or MODE(AUTO) with this option.
  • Does not support Cabinet copies
