7.9.2 Using a utility program in a job

z/OS has a utility program named IEBGENER to copy data. It uses four DD statements:

• SYSIN for control statements. We can code DD DUMMY for this statement because we do not have any control statements for this job.
• SYSPRINT for messages from the program. Use SYSOUT=* for this lab.
• SYSUT1 for the input data.
• SYSUT2 for the output data.

The basic function of the program is to copy the data set pointed to by SYSUT1 to the data set pointed to by SYSUT2. Both must be sequential data sets or members of a library.

The program automatically obtains the data control block (DCB) attributes from the input data set and applies them to the output data set. Write the JCL for a job to list the yourid.JCL(TEST1) member to SYSOUT=*. Your JCL should contain a JOB card as well with the NOTIFY=&SYSUID parameter.

Copy and paste the JCL from your completed JCL member (6 marks).
