Copy using selection criteria

Records and members can be copied selectively based on selection criteria. Selection criteria is supported for all copy types except load library copy. File-AID permits you to specify three different types of record selection criteria:

Options

Selection criteria options allow you to specify:


    • Starting key or relative byte address (RBA) to begin record selection
    • An initial number of records to skip
    • Selection intervals for selecting and skipping records
    • Number of records to search or select
    • Forward or backward processing direction.

See Selection Criteria Options.

Formatted

Formatted criteria uses record layouts or XREFs (record layout cross references) to search for a specific field value. See Formatted Selection Criteria.

Unformatted

Unformatted criteria uses AND/OR logic to search for specific data values at specific positions in the records. See Unformatted Selection Criteria.

 

Tip: For faster searching, add an asterisk to the end of your partial query. Example: cert*
