This page gives you more about the usage of Banner Prefix while configuring a PDS dump extractor package in DMT.
This page gives you an approach when there is multiple banner prefix in one PDS Dump.
What is a Mainframe PDS dump?
- The Mainframe PDS dump option is designed for target Mainframe source code (Cobol, JCL etc.) which is the result of a PDS (Partitioned Data Set) dump.
- A PDS is a type of "library" containing elements known as "members" exported from a z/OS system. A PDS can only contain one type of member (eg. Cobol programs, copybooks, JCL etc.) Each member in the PDS is preceded by a banner containing the member's name (among other information) and is concatenated with other elements in text format.

A PDS dump is a file which contains members and these members can be of type:
- Cobol Program
- Cobol Copybook
- JCL Job/Proc
- JCL include
- IMS DBD
- IMS PSB
- CICS CSD
- CICS BMS
One Dump can contain one type of member i.e. any one in the above list.
Each dump also can be configured only with one type of banner per file.
We do not support multiple banner prefix in a singe PDS Dump.
If you have several banner prefix, then you need to create and deliver several dump files to separate them depending upon the type of banner prefix.
