How copy certain job from certain PDS and change the JOB card?

[demecarv]

I am very beginner in Mainframe and I received this task:
"copy certain job (DTLICTT2) from certain PDS (TEST.TS.A.CNTL) and change the JOB card".
How can I do this? I added two screen shot: one shows the PDS details and other shows how I am trying to copy but I am getting the message "Dataset not cataloged". I guess I am very close to do but certainly I am missing some extra step.

read about the TSO PREFIX

instead of

Code: Select all

somedatasetname

use

Code: Select all

'somedatsetmame'

so that Your TSO prefix ( the userid ) is not prepended to the dataset name

Code: Select all

USERID.somedatasetname

Give the dataset name within quotes ad it should work

If you hit F1 key once it will show more explantipon on that message and with another hit on it, it should further explain it all. That should be helpful.

Looks like IBM is running the mainframe contest again this year.

TEST.TS.A.CNTL is a Sequencial data and not a PDS..it needs to be a PDS to have a member JCL

[William Collins]

And you have determined that how?

Incorrect; if you enlarge PDS Details.png, you will see that the data set is explicitly stated to be DSORG=PO.

Sorry I did not see PDS in the screenshot
