Hi,
I want to copy the content of SAM FILE1 to SAM FILE2, but SAM FILE2 is already exist. I tried to use IEBGERNER,but returncode is 12 because of existing of file2.
Who can tell me How to resolve the problem?

Thanks

Hi Husj,

Please elaborate your problem,

What do u mean by sam File, Is it VSAM file or Flat file?

Do u want creat a replica of Sam file or or do yo want to add ib file 2.

Hi, Rupesh,

FILE1 and FILE2 are all flat file and already exist. I want to cover FILE2 with FILE1. i.e. I do not need the old data in FILE2. JCL is like this,

//FILECPY1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=FILE1,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=FILE2,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY

Maybe IEBGENER can not complete this function. But I do not how to do

regards
