Hi All,

I have to use IEBGENER to copy a FB 80 DSN to a FB 133 DSN. Basically my SYSUT1 is the JES SYSIN i.e. something like :

//SYSUT1 DD *
dadsadasdasd
sdasdadasda
asasdasd
/*

And SYSUT2 is a DSN which I have to create of FB 133 and copy the SYSUT1 into it using IEBGENER. I am aware that we can use some SYSIN control cards for IEBGENER like "RECORDS FIELD=(80,1,,1)," but this is somehow not working for me. I searched the forum but could not get help on IEBGENER.

Pls advise.

Regards,
-Amit.

amit4u79,

Any particular reason to use IEBGENER only ? Why can't you use sort or fileaid ? If you don't have a choice to use other products then try these control cards

Hi Thanks Kolusu,

The JCL worked perfectly fine for me. Just one query, what is the need to use GENERATE MAXFLDS and MAXLITS and why are the values so specific(7 and 53) ??

Thanks for your help Sir.

amit4u79,

Check this documentation of IEBGENER. The section you are interested is 6.8 and then the utility control statements

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt1u104/6.0?DT=19990113105507

Hope this helps...
