Issue/Introduction

Does Endevor have a Utility that can be used outside of a processor to convert from PDS to PDSe Libraries? 

Environment

Release : All Supported Releases

Component : Endevor

Resolution

BSTXCOPY is an Endevor utility that performs the same functions as the Endevor processor utility BSTCOPY. However, you can use BSTXCOPY to perform these functions outside of a Endevor processor. BSTCOPY can only be executed within an Endevor processor.

BSTXCOPY can be used to copy between PDS load libraries and PDSE load libraries, from PDSE to PDSE, and from PDSE back to PDS. BSTXCOPY can copy aliases but the original loadlib member must be present in the From library.

The following JCL shows how to execute this utility. The first library in the STEPLIB contains the Endevor site-specific modules (C1DEFLTS, ENDICNFG, and so on):

//COPYEX EXEC PGM=NDVRC1,PARM='CONCALL,DDN:CONLIB,BSTXCOPY'
 // INCLUDE MEMBER=SCMM@LIB
 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                                  
 //SYSUT3   DD UNIT=VIO,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2))                                
 //SYSUT4   DD UNIT=VIO,SPACE=(CYL,(1,2))                               
 //IND1     DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=YOUR.PDS.LOADLIB   (PDS)                  
 //IND2     DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=YOUR.PDS.LOADLIB  (PDS)                
 //OUTDD    DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=YOUR.NEW.PDSE.LOADLIB  (PDSE)
 //SYSIN    DD *                                                           
    COPY INDD=((IND1,R)),OUTDD=OUTDD                                         
    COPY INDD=((IND2,R)),OUTDD=OUTDD

Note: To copy a specific member, the following syntax can be used.
//SYSIN    DD *             
 COPY INDD=IND1,OUTDD=OUTDD 
 SELECT MEMBER=FARCOB01      

For back-out members, turn on hex mode and use 'FE' for the first character so that the member name is recognized.
