EDIT Line commands - CREATE

EDIT LINE commands - CREATE

CREATE is used to move or copy data from dataset we are editing to a new dataset.

Suppose we are working with below JCL:

***************************** Top of Data ******************************

//TESTJCL1 JOB (XXXX),'TEST JCL',NOTIFY=&SYSUID                        

//teststep EXEC PGM=TESTPGM1                                           

//STEPLIB DD DSN=CMN.TEST.STGO.#001621.LOD,DISP=SHR                    

//MINPUT  DD DSN=SUKULR.TESTFILE.MASTER2,DISP=(OLD,CATLG,CATLG),       

//SYSIN   DD *

JADAV 67000 Y 40                                                       

MAHENDRA GAREWAL                                                       

20000 N                                                                

/*                                                                     

**************************** Bottom of Data ****************************

And we wish to copy the lines 4 to 8 to a new dataset named COPYJCL1.

To perform this we would first copy the lines using the C or CC commands. If we want to move the data from original datasets then we use the M or MM commands.

Then we type 'CREATE membername' or just 'CREATE' on the command line and hit enter.

If we don’t specify the member name then we get a selection panel where we can choose which panel to copy and what should be the name of new member.

Command ===> create copyjcl1                                  Scroll ===> CSR

After we hit enter we get a message on the right had top corner - "Member COPYJCL1 created"

Which indicates that the create function was successful.
