Here is a sample that I wrote awhile ago to better understand how lmcopy
works - hope this helps - no lmopen required.
/* ------- REXX ------- *
* test code for lmcopy *
* -------------------- */
in = 'hlq.test.pds'
out = 'hlq.test.pdse'
Address ISPexec
"lminit dataid(indd1) dataset('"in"')"
"lminit dataid(outdd1) dataset('"out"')"
"lmcopy fromid("indd1") todataid("outdd1")" ,
"frommem(a*) replace"
"lmcopy fromid("indd1") todataid("outdd1")" ,
"frommem(b*) replace"
"lmfree dataid("indd1")"
"lmfree dataid("outdd1")"

Subject: Having a little difficulty with a REXX command LMOPEN
Good Morning,
I have a small REXX which essentially copies members of one PDSE to another.
It iterates over members of the first PDSE and copies the members to the
second PDSE.
After about eighty members are copied, my LMOPEN fails with a return code of
8.
I checked the manual and a return code of 8 from an LMOPEN means "The
Dataset cannot be opened."
8
Data set could not be opened.
Is there somewhere I can see a bit more detail. Why the dataset could not be
opened?
I see nothing in the JES Log.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks
