I have a data file with copybook. I have to reformat this file according to new copybook in which some fields are removed. The new file should contain data only from the common fields of both copybook. Can it be done using XREF?

I used REFORMAT option in File aid. It is working when I do it as online but while trying to generate jcl to submit it via batch mode, it shows error: UTILITY DATA SET NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED. I searched in google for the screenshots/File aid tutorials which shows how to do batch REFORMAT. I didn't got any.

Did you search with your File-Aid support people?

I think we don't have support people.

Someone must have installed it and be responsible for maintaining and updating it. Or some group - possibly the sysprogs. Ask around. Ask your manager if necessary.

ABOVE FUNCTION ENDED ON DD01R IS NOT A REFORMAT DEFINITION
How to write correct Reformat definition??
