Making an image copy during unload


You can request that one or more image copy data sets be created for an area during the unload function.

Use the IC subcommand to request creation of an image copy.

The example below requests the creation of two output image copy data sets for each area within the database as the areas are being unloaded.

UNLOAD DBD=dbdname,IAREA=ALL
  IC DSNAME='dataset-name1-mask',
     DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=TAPE
  IC DSNAME='dataset-name2-mask',
     DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=TAPE
