STEP 2
The REPRO NOMERGECAT command copies the contents of MYCAT into
COPYUCAT. Access method services treats each catalog as a key-sequenced
data set and copies each record. The first three records of MYCAT,
which describe MYCAT as an integrated catalog facility catalog, are
not copied into COPYUCAT. Entries from MYCAT are written into COPYUCAT
beginning with record 4 (that is, after the three self-describing
records of COPYUCAT). The REPRO command's parameters are:
- INDATASET identifies the source data set, MYCAT. MYCAT is cataloged in the master catalog.
- OUTDATASET identifies the receiving data set, COPYUCAT. COPYUCAT is cataloged in the master catalog.
The EXPORT command removes MYCAT's user catalog connector entry from the master catalog. MYCAT's cataloged objects now are not available to the system. (STEP4 builds an alias entry that relates MYCAT to COPYUCAT, making the cataloged objects available to the system again.)
