Which i want to rename to

ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.AI.PRVTPRV.D012104

or copy it to

binoy,

You cannot rename a tape dataset. So you can copy it to different name and then delete the orginal file.
Code:

//STEP0100  EXEC  PGM=SORT                       
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SORTIN    DD DSN=ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.BI.PRVTPRV.D012104,                                 
//             DISP=(OLD,DELETE,KEEP)
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.AI.PRVTPRV.D012104
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//             UNIT=TAPE,               
//             LABEL=(01,SL),VOL=(,,,99)
//SYSIN     DD *
   SORT FIELDS=COPY
//*


The disp=(old,delete,keep) will delete the sortin input dataset after the succesful completion of the job.

Or you can have seperate step for delete as shown below

Code:

//STEP0100  EXEC  PGM=SORT                       
//SYSOUT    DD SYSOUT=*                           
//SORTIN    DD DSN=ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.BI.PRVTPRV.D012104,                                 
//             DISP=SHR
//SORTOUT   DD DSN=ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.AI.PRVTPRV.D012104
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//             UNIT=TAPE,               
//             LABEL=(01,SL),VOL=(,,,99)
//SYSIN     DD *
   SORT FIELDS=COPY
//*
//STEP0200 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                   
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                     
//SYSIN    DD  *                             
   DELETE ATZZ.E6IMS.PSB75410.BI.PRVTPRV.D012104
//*


Hope this helps...

Cheers

Kolusu

Binoy,

Thanks Kolusu,

The default value for a DELETE statement is SCRATCH. so you don't need any additional parameters for scratching the dataset. Please be clear about what you meant by tape info?
