My problem is that this job produces a SOP030 report that is in the SDSF when you ? a job. The thing is I need it to be outputed to a sequential file, Im trying to use IEBGENER to copy this report to a sequential file as well. I see that the SOP030 "file" if you can call it that has a different set of parameters than the rest of the files. I have created a SOP03R sequential file to store the report but i keep getting a JCL error about that special SOP030 print file. Is there a way to copy the report to a sequential file after the report has been created? I need this because the report goes to a printer but every know and then they purge/loose this job and the report. And I have to re-create it again for them, so Id like the report to be copied to a sequential file as well as backup.

I'm not quite sure of what your problem is, but when I need a printed report and a backup file, I just output the report to the disk file and run a gener afterward to produce the printout.....

Excuse my ignorence but Ive only been programming in COBOL and JCL for 1.5 years now and Im still learning. And no one at my work can help me either as most of our JCL's are automatically generated. What would the sintax be for my JCL to copy the SOP030 printfile to a sequential file "SOP03R" be? I would really appreciate your help.

Hello,

If you have no control of your jcl, the suggestion to create a file and later copy it to sysout will probably not work well for you.

Is this a one-time need? If it is, it is fairly straightforward to copy a queued output to a dasd file. You could use XDC - someone in your system support group can show you how to use it if you tru it and have questions/problems.

If you can change whatever generates your jcl, it could be changed to so that this

is written to a dasd file rather than sysout. The IEBGENER would copy the dasd file to sysout (as was previously suggested by CG).

The existing IEBGENER is trying to copy data from what appears to be a non-file from the previous step. You cannot refer to queued output by using a prior ddname as a dsn. What is currently in your jcl is trying to accomplish what CG suggested as a way to do what you need. The idea is correct, but the mechanics are incorrect.

If you cannot control the jcl, how did the gener to copy a report come to be?
