IEBCOPY syntax from command line

There are loads of examples of IEBCOPY within JCL, but for the life of me I can't locate any examples of IEBCOPY from the command line. Can anyone forward a simple command that copies from one PDS member to a flat dataset?

Hi

You can give below commands at Ready prompt

ALLOC FI(SYSUT1) SHR DA('INPUT PDS')
ALLOC FI(SYSUT2) OLD DA('OUT PUT PDS')
ALLOC FI(SYSPRINT) SYSOUT"
ALLOC FI(SYSIN) SHR DA('control statement datalib member')
CALL 'SYS1.LINKLIB(IEBCOPY)'
FREE FI(SYSUT1 SYSUT2 SYSIN SYSPRINT)

control stmt can be COPY OUTDD=SYSUT2,INDD=SYSUT1

If you want to copy a single PDS member to a flat file go inside the PDS type "C" against the member then you'll another screen to asking for the destination dataset.

Sorry if you already knew this.

Thanks
