The COPY command is used to copy the contents of one or more datasets to another dataset or to a sequential file.

Syntax -

COPY FROM(source-dataset) TO(target-dataset) [options]

Where -

• source-dataset is the name of the source dataset.
• target-dataset is the name of the target dataset.
• options are the optional parameters that you can use to customize the printing.

Examples -

Scenario1 - Copy data from one PDS to another.

COPY FROM('MATEPK.TSO.TESTPDS') TO('MATEPK.TSO.TESTPDS1')

This would copy MATEPK.TSO.TESTPDS members to MATEPK.TSO.TESTPDS1.
