We're trying to copy a .PDF document into the JES2 spool (SYSOUT dataset)

can't seem to find the correct reference manual to tell us how to accomplish
this, either (would it be a JES2 manual? the JCL Reference "sort of"
suggested the DCB=RECFM=FB sub-parm on the DD statement).
You cannot "copy" a .PDF file to SYSOUT, John. You would need to have a
PDF reader that can extract the text information and create a printout
of it.
All you can "copy" directly to a SYSOUT file is raw, unstructured text
(or possibly APF-formatted text, which PDF is not).
