Copying "FROM" EMPMAST "TO" PDSEV2

The last data set you referenced in any File-AID function or utility is automatically displayed in the FROM dataset or path field. The TO dataset or path field retains the last data set or path you specified in the Copy utility.

You must identify the FROM dataset and the TO dataset and whether or not you want to use selection criteria (Selection criteria usage field). You can choose to run your copy online at your terminal or in batch by specifying the processing option in the Process online or batch field.

In this example, specify N in the Selection criteria usage field to copy all records in the online copy process.
