Answer / sathya
REPRO is used to copying from Sequential dateset to VSAM
dateset and vice versa.i.e populating datas to VSAM files.
IEBGENER is used to copy ps to ps,pds member to member,pds
member to ps,ps to pds member.used for concatenation many
dataset.
IEBCOPY is used to copy from pds to pds

REPRO - This is mainly used for copying from PS file to
VSAM data set or from VSAM dataset to another VSAM dataset.

Answer / selvarani ajeeth
More about Repro :
Repro will be done on KSDS files , To identify the Unique
record.we can't directly copy the vsam file to other
if it has alternate index.So for that we will dump the VSAM
into the flat file and then we will sort it and remove the
duplicates .Only then we can repro it from flat file into
the Vsam

Answer / guest
IEBGENER -- This is a dataset utility for copying sequential
datasets which produces a PDS or a member from a sequential
dataset.
IEBCOPY -- This is a dataset utility for copying one PDS to
another or to merge PDSs.
REPRO -- This is for copying sequential datasets. More or
less same as the IEBGENER.

Answer / s.sivarajan
IEBGENER - Used to copy from one PS to another PS files.
also used to copy from one PDS member to another
PDS member.
IEBCOPY - Used to copy and compress the PDS Files only.
we using COPY INDD=DDNAME,
OUTDD=DDNAME.
REPRO - It is one of statement used to load the cluster
using the repro command we are also copy the files
in the cluster
REPRO INFILE=DDNAME,
OUTFILE=DDNAME.
OR
REPRO INDATASET=DATASETNAME,
OUTDATASET=DATASETNAME.

Answer / sathish chandra
IEBGENER is to copy data from one ps to another ps, ps to pds member, pds to ps , concatnating two ps s and copying to another ps or pds.. so many types of concatnations are there..
IEBCOPY is used to copy data from one pds to another pds.. in that we should code copy command..
IDCAMS(access method service) is to create a base in gdg..

Suppose I have a file with three fields with data in the following format 1. empid - S9(4) COMP 2. empname - X(20) 3. empsal - S9(5)V(2) COMP-3 If I view this file, it will not be in a readable format. How to display the empid and empsal fields in a readable format without using COBOL program? What kind of SORT card will have to be coded?

I have a cobol db2 program(PGM A) where other program (PGM B) will call this program and passes some 50 fields data to PGM A. PGM A has some layout in which it receives the data from PGM B. And this layout has been copied in the linkage section pf PGM A. After getting the data, PGM A writes the data in a flat file in the same layout which it receives from PGM B. PGM B is a simple COBOL pgm. Please provide a JCL to run these programs.
