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 *

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.

EDIT Line commands - BOUNDS

EDIT line commands - BOUNDS

BOUNDS 40 60 command will restrict the change window only to columns 40 to 60.

Any find or change command we issue will not be able to search any text beyond the data in the column rang 40 to 60.

This could be useful in cases where in we need to restrict our change only to specific columns.

TO remove the bound specified earlier we can just type BOUNDS on command line and hit enter.

EDIT line commands - COPY

EDIT line commands- COPY

This is used to copy a dataset to the position marked by a A(after) or B(Before) line command or label.

Syntax:

COPY [member name] [AFTER]  label]

                   [BEFORE] 

COPY                will bring up a menu to enter dataset name

To use copy first we type A (after) or B(before) on the line where we want to copy another member and then type the command COPY membername on the command line and hit enter.

In the above example we have placed a B at line two and typed 'copy sort001' on the command line. Hitting enter will cause the member sort001 to be copied before line 2.

In the below example we have created a label with name .m on the line 3. Then we type the command 'COPY SORT001 AFTER .M' on the command line and hit enter. This will cause the member to be copied after line labeled with .M

We can just use COPY command on the command line to get a selection panel where in we can browse to the datasets we want to copy.

In the below example we have typed A on line 4 indicates that we have to copy data after line 4. Then we type COPY on the command line to get a PDS selection panel as below:

Enter 's' against the member we want to copy and hit enter. This member will get copied to the original member.
