z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

Parameters
Option
If you enter the OBROWSE command without specifying a pathname, the Browse
Entry panel is displayed. From that panel, you can enter the directory name and
filename of an existing file you want to browse. If you are browsing fixed-length
records, you must also indicate the record length.
pathname
Specifies the pathname of the file to be browsed. The pathname can be
absolute or relative. It can be enclosed in single quotes. A relative pathname is
relative to the working directory of the TSO/E session (usually the HOME
directory). Therefore, you should usually specify an absolute pathname. If you
enter the OBROWSE command from the shell, use the absolute pathname.
Avoid using spaces or single quotes within the pathname.
-r xx
Sets the record length to be browsed for fixed length text files. xx is length. If -r
xx is specified, the file will be processed as fixed length records. This lets you
convert a variable length file to fixed length for viewing.
OCOPY — Copy an MVS data set member or z/OS UNIX file to another
member or file
Format
Description
OCOPY INDD(ddname1) OUTDD(ddname2)
BINARY | TEXT
CONVERT(character_conversion_table | YES | NO)
PATHOPTS (USE|OVERRIDE)
TO1047 | FROM1047
You can use the OCOPY command to copy data between an MVS data set and the
z/OS UNIX file system. For OCOPY, you would want to use CONVERT for these
two situations:
v Conversion between code pages IBM-037 and IBM-1047
v Conversion between ASCII and code page IBM-1047
The z/OS shell uses code page 1047, and MVS uses a Country Extended Code
Page. You can convert data to or from code page 1047 while it is being copied.
If you are copying a file with doublebyte data, do not use the CONVERT option.
Before using the OCOPY command, you must allocate the data set or file you are
working with. When using the TSO/E ALLOCATE command or a JCL DD statement
to allocate a file or data set, you can specify PATHMODE and PATHOPTS
parameters along with the PATH parameter. For information on the use of these
parameters with the JCL statement, see z/OS MVS JCL Reference. For information
on the TSO/E ALLOCATE command, see z/OS TSO/E Command Reference.
You can use OCOPY to copy:
v A member of an MVS partitioned data set (PDS or PDSE) to a file
v An MVS sequential data set to a file
v A file to a member of an MVS PDS or PDSE
