Edit model example: JCL that calls the DSC function

This example shows how to use edit models to generate a batch job to copy a data set using the DSC function.

  1. Select option 2 from the ISPF Primary Option Menu.
  2. In the Edit Entry Panel, enter the name of a new member in a data set of type JCL. Example:
       Data Set Name . . . 'EXAMPLE.JCL(newdscx)'
  3. In the edit session, enter the MODEL primary command.
