Copying and Merging Datasets (TSIDDTD)
TSIDDTD is a dataset-to-dataset copy/merge utility program. It can be used to copy a single
dataset or to merge multiple input datasets into a single output dataset. TSIDDTD uses
standard LIOCS access methods, so the input and output datasets can be completely controlled
by BIM-EPIC.
TSIDDTD supports any sequential dataset with a fixed, variable, spanned or undefined record
format. However, TSIDDTD can only process tape datasets that follow the standard LIOCS
format conventions (see "Tape Formats Supported" below).
TSIDDTD performs one copy operation per execution. To copy a multi-file tape, execute
TSIDDTD once for every dataset on the tape, and include input and output labels for each
dataset.
To use TSIDDTD for disk datasets, GDI=YES must be specified.
input dataset label(s)
output dataset label
// EXEC TSIDDTD
[optional control statements ]

None
You must submit a label for at least one input dataset and one output dataset. The default
DTF names are INPUT and OUTPUT, but you can specify other DTF names in your control
statements.
The output dataset's block size will be the same as the input dataset's block size unless you
specify a new block size in the output dataset's definition. Uncontrolled disk datasets can be
reblocked using the ‘B=n’ option on the DLBL statement.
When you are copying uncontrolled datasets, use SYS005 for the output dataset and SYS004
for the input dataset.
If more than one input dataset is being copied to the output dataset, specify the 'T' option
(dataset drop) on every input dataset label except the last. With the 'Drop' option, you can
merge tape and disk versions into a single dataset. If all the input is on the same device type,
you can also use the concatenation feature of the BIM-EPIC DD statement.
