option C (Copy) in the OPT column of the Job List screen, next to the job
names, and press Enter. The window is displayed:

contain default values that can be modified.

Fields in the Window for Copying Jobs to Another Table


Field Description
Library
     Library containing the table into which the jobs must be
    copied. Must be an existing library. Default is the current
    library.

Table
   Name of the table into which the job must be copied.
  Notes: A job can only be copied to another table. It cannot be
   copied to its own table (even if the job is renamed).
   If the specified table does not exist, the table is created when
   the request is performed.
Job
  Name of the job to be copied. If multiple jobs are selected,
  the window initially display with the first selected job. As each
  request is performed or canceled, the next requested job


To perform a request, press Enter.
To cancel a request, press END (PF03/PF15) or RESET (PF04/PF16).
Group entities cannot be copied. If a job in a Group scheduling table is
copied to a regular scheduling table, it is copied as a regular job; scheduling
tags are dropped from the job scheduling definition. If a job in a Group
scheduling table is copied to a nonexisting table, the table that is created is a
regular table, not a group table.

List screen and press Enter.

each table selected for deletion
