FDRCOPY ISPF Interface


For ABR customers, FDRCOPY is supported by the ABR SRS dialogs on ISPF. As described in FDRSRS-Search-Report-and-Services-Dialog, 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

FDRSRSJ2 ---------------- FDRSRS - Copy Data Set ------------------------------
COMMAND ===> SCROLL ===> CSR


Edit generated JCL Submit generated JCL FG - execute in the foreground


Operands for COPY TYPE=DSF statement:
===> 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:
===> 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

FDRSRSJ3 ---------------- 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:
===> 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.
