How to create a member in an existing pds using jcl

I've used the below jcl:

//STEP1    EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                            
//SYSUT1   DD   DUMMY,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80                  
//SYSUT2   DD   DSN=RK.MYDIR.FILES(NEW1),DISP=(SHR)      
//SYSPRINT DD   SYSOUT=*                                
//SYSIN    DD   DUMMY

I was able to create it. But i can't understand the code here. Is there any possibility to create using IEFBR14. If not this is the nly way. Please kindly explain me the code. Thank you

Solution

  • It can't be done with IEFBR14

    IEBCOPY is more appropriate: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/basics/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.zdatamgmt/zsysprogc_utilities_IEBCOPY.htm

    This is the reference which helps explain IEBGENER: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/basics/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.zdatamgmt/zsysprogc_utilities_IEBGENER.htm
