Explain a real-world scenario where the IEBGENER utility would be used, and provide the relevant JCL statements for that scenario.
- Copying a dataset to a backup file with a different record format.
- Generating a report from a sequential file.
- Merging two sorted datasets and applying a custom transformation to the records.
- Sorting a dataset in ascending order based on a specific key field.
In a scenario where you need to merge two sorted datasets with a custom transformation, you would use the IEBGENER utility. Relevant JCL statements would include specifying the input and output datasets, as well as any necessary control statements for the merge operation.
