Copying to z/OS UNIX
IEBGENER can be used to copy from a PDS or PDSE member to a UNIX file. You also can
use TSO/E commands and other copying utilities such as ICEGENER or BPXCOPY to copy a
PDS or PDSE member to a UNIX file.
In Figure 4-9, the data set in SYSUT1 is a PDS or PDSE member and the data set in
SYSUT2 is a UNIX file. This job creates a macro library in the UNIX directory.
// JOB ....
// EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=PROJ.BIGPROG.MACLIB(MAC1),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD PATH='/u/BIGPROG/macros/special/MAC1',PATHOPTS=OCREAT,
// PATHDISP=(KEEP,DELETE),
// PATHMODE=(SIRUSR,SIWUSR,
// SIRGRP,SIROTH),
// FILEDATA=TEXT
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

Note: If you have the DFSORT product installed, you should be using ICEGENER as an
alternative to IEBGENER when making an unedited copy of a data set or member. It may
already be installed in your system under the name IEBGENER. It generally gives better
performance.
