I'm trying to make a JCL to move production load modules to backup so newer versions can be placed in production.

I can do source, proc, and JCL PDS easy(IEBGENER ), but the loads give me problems. I want to make sure I can execute them from the backup library (or copy them back to production if needed.) Is there a IBM standard utility that will move them correctly?

thanks,

Paul

IEBCOPY is the utility we usually use to copy members of a library.

PHacker,

Search for "ADRDSSU" in this forum and you will find examples.

Due to a shortage of people, we are all doing alot of our own updates and moves to production. I have a bunch of payroll tax updates to move after testing (and testing is completed.)

This will work! This moves plain JCL to JCL PDS, and as long as the DCBs are the same the copy is perfect. Same goes for LOADLIBs (just don't mix the two up!) First move the production stuff to archive, then if cond code = 0, move test to production.

Now that is a good reply to our help, I will be glad to help you again.

By the way, in some cases you might need to use a copymod instead of a copy for load modules.
