Introduction
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

This suite of programs and documentation will describe how to create and manage a Partitioned Data Set (PDS). It is quite common to refer to a PDS as a Library. The following examples use the IEFBR14 program along with a DD statement in the JCL to create, compress or delete a PDS. Also, sample programs are provided to copy members into or from a PDS.

The source code, data sets and documentation are provided in a single zipped file called UTLDAT02.ZIP. This zipped file is referred to as a Z-Pack and may be downloaded from the SimoTime Web Site. The file names have file extensions. When uploaded to the mainframe from the PC the file extension is dropped. Refer to the Downloads and Links to Similar Pages section of this document for additional download information.

Quick Start
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following describes the sequence of events to create a Partitioned Data Set (PDS) and copy members (PDSM) into a PDS. The following will run on a ZOS Mainframe or Windows with Micro Focus Mainframe Express.

Step - JCL Member Description
1 - PDSDELJ1 This job will delete the PDS called SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1. The job will do an EXEC of IEFBR14 with a DD statement with a DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE).
2 - PDSCRTJ1 This job will create a PDS called SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1. The job will do an EXEC of IEFBR14 and a DD statement with a DISP=(NEW,CATLG).
3 - PDSMWRK1 This job will create a record sequential file (SIMOTIME.DATA.FB80WRK1) of eighty (80) byte, fixed length records using IEBGENER.
4 - PDSMPUT1 This job will read the record sequential file created in the preceding step and write to a PDS Member (FB80MEM1) in the PDS (SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1) created in a preceding step. This job uses a COBOL program to do the copy.
5 - PDSMCPY1 This job will copy a PDS member. It copies DSN=SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1(FB80WRK1) to DSN=SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1(FB80WRKX).
6 - PDSMGET1 This job will read a PDS Member (FB80MEM1) in the PDS (SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1) created in a preceding step and write to a record sequential file (SIMOTIME.DATA.FB80WRK2). This job uses a COBOL program to do the copy.
7 - PDSMDEL1 This job will delete a PDS member (FB80MEM1) in the PDS (SIMOTIME.PDS.TEMPLIB1).

Create a Single PDS
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following mainframe JCL (PDSCRTJ1.JCL) is used to create a single PDS. The JOB statement and the DD statements will need to be changed for different mainframe environments.

//* instruction is a BR 14 which performs an immediate return to the

//*
//* IEFBR14's only purpose is to help meet the requirements that a
//* job must have at least one EXEC statement. The real purpose is to
//* allow the disposition of the DD statement to occur.
//*
//* For example, the following DISP=(NEW,CATLG) will cause the
//* specified DSN (i.e. PDS) to be allocated.
//* Note: a PDS may also be referred to as a library.

The preceding job may be executed on the mainframe as an MVS batch job. The JOB and DD statements will require modification prior to execution in different mainframe environments. It may also be executed on the PC running the Micro Focus Mainframe Express product.

Create Multiple PDS's
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

Many of the sample programs provided by SimoTime assume the source code is stored in a set of Partitioned Data Sets (PDS's). The following mainframe JCL (PDSCRTJ2.JCL) is used to create the (PDS'S). The JOB statement and the DD statements will need to be changed for different mainframe environments.

Compress a PDS
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

After a PDS has been subjected to a high volume of activity such as replacing members, adding new member and deleting members there may be unusable gaps or spaces between members stored within the PDS. A compress function using IEBCOPY is provided to compress the members and consolidate all the gaps or spaces into a single area within the PDS. The following mainframe JCL (PDSCOMJ1.JCL) is used to compress a single PDS. The JOB statement and the DD statements will need to be changed for different mainframe environments.

Note: When compressing the PDS will be allocated for exclusive use by the compression process.

The preceding job may be executed on the mainframe as an MVS batch job. The JOB and DD statements will require modification prior to execution in different mainframe environments. It may also be executed on the PC running the Micro Focus Mainframe Express (MFE) product. The PDS's managed by MFE do not need to be compressed so the request is simply ignored and control is returned to the caller with a zero return code.

Delete a PDS and all the Members in the PDS

The following mainframe JCL (PDSDELJ1.JCL) is used to delete a single PDS. The JOB statement and the DD statements will need to be changed for different mainframe environments.

CAUTION ! ! ! - When deleting a PDS all members within the PDS are also deleted.
