COPY instruction
You can use COPY or INCLUDE to instruct CICS PA at run time to obtain precoded commands from a command library and include them in your CICS PA job stream as command input. In this way, often-used sequences of commands can be readily reused. The command library is identified in the CMDLIB DD statement in your JCL.
The format of the COPY instruction is:
Name | Command | Operands | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
name (or blank) | COPY or INCLUDE | member[,member1,...,membern] | comments (or blank) |
Figure 1 shows an example of the COPY command. In this example, precoded commands necessary to produce a Performance List report and Performance Summary report are obtained from the two command library members and placed in the job stream.
