Answer / guest
Used to copy one QSAM file to another. Source dataset should
be described using SYSUT1 ddname. Destination dataset should
be described using SYSUT2. IEBGENR can also do some
reformatting of data by supplying control cards via SYSIN.

Answer / pradeep
The IEBGENER can be used to call one JCL from another JCL,
example:
//TEST003 JOB 'SORT002',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=T
//*
//STEP001 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001),DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(A,INTRDR)
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
Here the TEST003 Job when submitted, we inturn submit the
JCL member XXX.GENERAL.STUDY(TEST001)

Answer / shakila vinayagam
You can use IEBGENER to perform the following tasks:
1) Create a backup copy of a sequential data set, a member
of a partitioned data
set or PDSE or a UNIX system services (USS) file such as a
HFS file.
2)Produce a partitioned data set or PDSE, or a member of a
partitioned data set or
PDSE, from a sequential data set or a USS file.
3) Expand an existing partitioned data set or PDSE by
creating partitioned members
and merging them into the existing data set.
4) Produce an edited sequential or partitioned data set or
PDSE.
5) Manipulate data sets containing double-byte character
set data.
5) Print sequential data sets, members of partitioned data
sets or PDSEs or USS
files.
6) Reblock or change the logical record length of a data
set.
7)Copy user labels on sequential output data sets.

BY using the IEBGENER we can pass two input files data into single output file
