I believe the reference says you may copy DB2 data sets with DFSMSdss or with VSAM utilities that use CI processing; e.g. VSAM EXPORT CIMODE (RECORDMODE is the default and cannot be used with DB2 data sets - most DB2 data sets are linear data sets or specially formated VSAM and cannot be processed by record level VSAM services).
This is incorrect. You can use i.e. IDCAMS or DSS *without* specifying CIMODE, the mode is set automatically for LDS. Every LDS, not DB2 LDS. And there is no special format of DB2 (in terms of VSAM). DB2 owned VSAM datasets can be copied using regular tools like dss or IDCAMS. It has nothing to do with DB2 access to these datasets and requirements that during "regular" copy DB2 should be shut down.
