Hi all,

I have GDG whose volume is like 832323+

KB.PROD ??????
KB.PROD.G0324V00 832323+

when I tried to view this I am getting a message as Tape not supported on ISPF panel.
But I want to see (or copy into any other dataset) the values in this perticular GDG.How to do this?

please can anyone let me how to handle this type of GDGs.

Thanks
suma

suma,

Suma,

You can NOT browse a GDG Base OR a gdg version which is on a tape. Based on your message I am guessing that you are trying to browse the GDG Base. You need to browse the GDG version. ie. KB.PROD.G0324V00 provided that it is on DASD. If it is a Tape file then you can use any utlitiy(IEBGENR,Sort, File-aid...) to copy the tape dsn to a dsad dsn.

try browsing KB.PROD.G0324V00. If it gives you an error that tape is not supported then run this step

suma,

It should be SORT FIELDS=COPY. I corrected the post.

suma,

You can use the option STOPAFT to limit the number of recs to be copied. Try these control cards. stopaft=100 will copy the first 100 records to your output dataset.

Suma,

you can limit the number records extracted in copy function using STOPAFT.
STOPAFT=5000 will stop processing after copying 5000 records in this context.

cheers

Hi Suma,

What KOLUSU said perfectly right, i.e. U gotta browse or edit the GDG version and not the base.. what u can do is if any of the GDG versions is in the Tape u can use a command called as HRECOVER or HRECALL and can take or copy the data from that version to ur DASD and do the manipulation...

procedure how to use this command :-

1. go to 3.4 and type the tape dataset name
2. in the DSLIST i.e. on the member listing type any of the command as above mentioned and hit Enter
3. the data would be moved from the tape to the DASD

Pls revert in case of any issue...

Thanks & Regards,
