I can think of several. For example -
//A       EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//INPUT    DD  -- Another PDS --
//OUTPUT   DD  -- New PDS --
//SYSIN    DD  *
 COPY INDD=INPUT,OUTDD=OUTPUT


//B       EXEC PGM=IEBUPDTE,PARM=NEW
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT2   DD  -- New PDS --
//SYSIN    DD  *
./ ADD NAME=member1
 .. Data for member 1 ..
./ ADD NAME=member2
 .. Data for member 2 ..


//C       EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD  *
 .. Data for member 1 ..
//SYSUT2   DD  DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(space definition),
//             DSN=DSNAME(MEMBER1)
//SYSIN    DD  DUMMY


Of course, there is always running your program and specifying an output data set like the SYSUT2 DD statement in the IEBGENER example.

In the IEBUPDTE example, be sure to specify a DCB; the IEBUPDTE standard default is not usually considered acceptable.

there are really two parts in the question posed

1) how to ALLOCATE a PDS/PDSE
answer
batch jcl using the proper constructs od the DD jcl statement
interactively using the TSO allocate command with the proper parms
interactively using ISPF 3.2

2) how to populate it
steve-myers reply provided some alternative ways
cheers

Hello,

Refer: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecen ... /parm3.htm
It gives the description of IEBUPDTE PARM parameters, 'NEW' being one of them. Go through the various pages of the manual shared in the link, it also describes the other utility programs shared by Mr. Myers in the earlier post.
