Issue/Introduction

A programmer needs to copy a member from a Librarian Master file to a PDS in batch.   

Environment

Librarian v4.4

Resolution

Use the Utility -EXTRACT command:

//LIBREXT  EXEC PGM=AFOLIBR,PARM='NRJS,NJTA'      
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*             
//MASTER   DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.Librarian.Master.file       
//OSJOB    DD  DSN=hlq.PDS(member),     
//         DISP=SHR                      
//SYSIN    DD  *                     
-OPT UTILITY                          
-EXTRACT member                    
-END                                          
/*                                        

 

 

If the Master file is MCD secured, be sure to include the -MCD statement with the appropriate MCD code:

//SYSIN    DD  *                   
-OPT UTILITY  
-MCD xxxx                    
-EXTRACT member                  
-END                                       
/*   

 

 

By default, the EXTRACT command expands any -INC includes in the member.  If the includes are not to be expanded, use the NOINC option to prevent the expansion of -INC statements in the extracted members.

 

//SYSIN    DD  *                   
-OPT UTILITY             
-EXTRACT member,NOINC                  
-END                                       
/*
