This utility used to create , delete, uncatlog, catlog a PS dataset or PDS dataset.
I can handle all these stuff using ISPF main menu so why I use this utility?
As you can create, delete, etc through ISPF main menu but consider a scenario wher you have to copy a dataset data into a new dataset so here in your program only you are creating a file and copying a content from one file to another file.
Program of IEFBR14 utility as below.
This program will create the PDS with above specification.
Here I am not using the control card i.e sysin dd so I have written sysin dd dummy.
This PDS file have a record length of 80 bytes.
Block size is 800 bytes.
Record format is fixed block and
Dataset organization is PO.
For PDS dataset we write DSORG=PO and for PS there is no any DSORG filed so it creates a PS dataset.
This job will run at maxcc=0 .
Now I will show you the specification that I have given in my program will matching or not.
As you know while creating a PS file we keep the field organization as blank.
So I will keep the organization field as blank to create a PS dataset.
Output message.
Properties of file.
For deleting the Dataset use the same utility but in dd statement write
DDname dd dsn=’ file which to be deleted it’s name’
Disp=(old,delete,delete)
It will delete your mentioned file.
Similarly to catlog the file use disp=(old,catlg).
To uncatlog the file use disp=(old,uncatlg).
