FDRCOPY ISPF Interface
For ABR customers, FDRCOPY is supported by the ABR SRS dialogs on ISPF. As described in Working-with-FDRSRS, SRS allows end users to generate a table of selected data sets and their characteristics, and to enter commands to be executed against those data sets.
COPY panel
A panel similar to this is received if the “COPY” command is entered for a data set.
FDRSRS – Copy Data Set
COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR
Edit generated JCL Submit generated JCL FG - execute in the foreground
Operands for COPY TYPE=DSF statement: (Section 21.4):
===> COPY TYPE=DSF
FROM DSNAME / Filter ===> 'USER1.TEST.LOAD'
Volume Serial ===> TSO001
TO New DSNAME ===>
or NEWINDEX ===> .TEST2
New Volume Serial(s) ===> TSO*
Operands for SELECT DSN= statement: (Section 21.5):
===> NOTIFY=USER1
The name and volume serial number of the input data set is filled in. Since this is a COPY, you probably want to enter a new name for the output data set and output volumes, as shown above.
MOVE panel
A panel similar to this is received if the “MOVE” command is entered for a data set.
FDRSRS – Move Data Set
COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR
Edit generated JCL Submit generated JCL FG - execute in the foreground
Operands for MOVE TYPE=DSF statement (Section 21.4):
===> MOVE TYPE=DSF
FROM DSNAME / Filter ===> 'USER1.ISPF4.PROFILE'
Volume Serial ===> TSO001
TO New DSNAME ===>
or NEWINDEX ===>
New Volume Serial(s) ===> SMS1*
Operands for SELECT DSN= statement: (Section 21.5):
===> NOTIFY=USER1
The name and volume serial number of the input data set is filled in. Since this is a MOVE, you probably want to enter new volumes for the output data set, as shown above.
Panel execution
If needed, you can provide additional operands for the COPY/MOVE statement or the SELECT statement on the lines indicated.
Once you are done, you can submit a batch FDRCOPY job stream to perform the copy/move (“EDIT” or “SUBMIT” commands) or to attach FDRCOPY under TSO and execute the copy/move in the foreground (FG). The foreground operation ties up your TSO session until the operation is done.
