• Database Management for DB2 for z/OS - SQL Performance Suite

Issue/Introduction

If a Detector for Db2 for z/OS (PDT) datastore is requested by technical support for analysis,
what JCL should be used to copy the datastore VSAM datasets into sequential files to be sent via FTP?

This document contains sample JCL that can be used to copy a PDT datastore (3 VSAM files) into 3 sequential files.

Environment

Release: r20
Component: Detector for Db2 for z/OS

Resolution

The following sample JCL contains the correct block size and record length parameters for the sequential output datasets.
Once the sequential files have been created they can be sent via FTP in binary tersed format for analysis.
