Thanks, John, but I need to be able to copy a zFS for cloning purposes. Let's say as an example that SMP/E points to OMVS.STAGING.ROOT. I apply maintenance which includes chages to that ROOT. How do I clone that updated ROOT zFS to a new one?? Simple to do with zFS but I can't seem to find anything that works with zFS. Can they be treated as 'normal' VSAM linear data sets for this purpose? If true, then waht about the IOEAGFMT formating?
Thanks.
