how to create a new pds with the structure of an existing
pds?

Answer Posted / smita

We can use IBM File Manager for this.
Go to ISPF screen.Type start U.34.
Select Utilities that is option 3.Enter.Then go for option
1 that is create.Enter.
Write the new DSN which is not yet created in the first DSN
option and the existing PDS in the second DSN option.Choose
option 1 in Processing option phase.Enter.
Select option 6 that is Non VSAM if we are going to create
a sequential one.Enter and check for the PDS in START 3.4.
I think this will help a lot in creating the alike PDS.
