Transferring Data from Spool to a Dataset

Transferring Data from Spool to a Dataset

Many a times we need the data sitting in spool to be transferred to a dataset. We might be researching on that data or the client might be looking for that data.

To take care of such requests we can make use of any of the two approaches described here

Method 1: (XDC)

1. Goto Spool

2. Give XDC against the jobname,

3. Provide details of the dataset to which contents to be transferred.

Method 2: Using a Job
