z/OS V1R6.0 DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs

REPRONone of these parameters can be specified if you are copying a catalog or alinear data set. You must copy the entire catalog or linear data set.The starting delimiter must be consistent with the ending delimiter. Forexample, if FROMADDRESS is specified for the starting location, useTOADDRESS to specify the ending location. The same is true for FROMKEYand TOKEY, and FROMNUMBER and TONUMBER.FROMKEY(key)specifies the key of the first record you want copied. You can specifygeneric keys (a portion of the key followed by *). If you specify generickeys, copying begins at the first record with a key matching the specifiedportion of the key. If you specify a key longer than that defined for thedata set, the data set is not copied. If the specified key is not found,copying begins at the next higher key.FROMKEY can be specified only when copying an alternate index, a KSDS,or an ISAM data set.keyCan contain 1-to-255 EBCDIC characters. A key ending in X'5C' isprocessed as a generic key.Abbreviation: FKEYFROMADDRESS(address)specifies the relative byte address (RBA) of the first record you wantcopied. The RBA value must be the beginning of a logical record. If youspecify this parameter for key-sequenced data, the records are copied inphysical sequential order instead of in logical sequential order.FROMADDRESS:vvCan be coded only for key-sequenced or entry-sequenced data sets orcomponents.Cannot be specified when the data set is being accessed through a path.v Cannot be specified for a key-sequenced data set with spanned records ifany of those spanned records are to be accessed.addressCan be specified in decimal (n) or hexadecimal (X'n'). The specificationcannot be longer than one fullword when specified in decimal.The largest address you can specify in decimal is 4,294,967,295. If yourequire a higher value, specify it in hexadecimal.Abbreviation: FADDRFROMNUMBER(number)specifies the relative record number of the first record you want copied.FROMNUMBER can be specified only when you copy a relative recorddata set.numberCan be specified in decimal (n), hexadecimal (X'n'), or binary (B'n').The specification cannot be longer than one fullword.The largest address you can specify in decimal is 4,294,967,295. If yourequire a higher value, specify it in hexadecimal.Abbreviation: FNUMChapter 30. REPRO 309
