A few comments 1) You only need to run the Define GDG once. So that should not be run again after the you create the GDG
2) The z/OS environment no longer needs the parms of DCB=(lrecl,Blksize,..) they can all be specified individually. So you can code // UNIT=SYSDA,LRECL=xx,BLKSIZE=xxxx,RECFM=xx and so forth 3) IDCAMS does not copy the Dataset attributes from the Input to the OUTPUT dataset. You may be able to use LIKE= in the jcl. But LIKE will not use a GDG for this function. So you cannot code LIKE=GDG(0). You can code LIKE=MYDATASET 4) You may wish to use IEBGENER instead of IDCAMS to copy the file. It can copy the dataset attributes. There are many examples of how to code IEBGENER on the internet and in www.ibm.com. 5) If you wish to use IDCAMS, then on the output DD include the dataset attributes, including SPACE, LRECL, BLKSIZE, etc... 6) You do not need IEFBR14 to create the GDG generation. It is done for you when you code GDG(+1) 7) If your dataset is controlled by the SMS ACS functions, then it will land in an SMS pool and not on the volume you specify. If your dataset is not controlled by SMS ACS code, it will land on the VOLSER you specify Hope this helps Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On > Behalf Of venkat kulkarni > Sent: Monday, May 01, 2017 12:17 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: SFTP issue with GDG Dataset > > Hello, > > Thanks for reply.
