Lizette/Kees,
I looked up the Share document and it said nothing about JCL changes, plus
what you explained about 'Authorize' (which I quite misunderstood), so
reasoned that my JCL had to be wrong .. what else:-(.
Found another JCL example and notes in another doc .. glaring errors in
SYSUT2! SYSUT2 has to have exactly the same attributes as SYSUT1 i.e. RECFM,
LRECL, BLKSIZE, allocated CYLS, EXTENTS and BLOCKS, don't use RLSE and it
works.
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DSN=CONRAD.CBL.PGMS,DISP=SHR
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=CONRADZ.CBL.PGMS.BK120105,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=VPWRKA,SPACE=(CYL,(60,1,200)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6160)
//SYSIN DD *
COPY INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2
/*
.. that worked a treat.
Thanks muchly for the pointers.
Graham

Graham,
You may have heard that in z/OS V1.13 that IEBCOPY no longer needs to be
apf
authorized for some functions. That does not mean that IEBCOPY no longer
works. You may wish to look at the share presentation from Aug 2011 on
IEBCOPY and changes coming up with z/OS V1.13.
IEBCOPY is still a good backup for PDS datasets.
DFDSS is a good backup for most datasets
What specifically do you want to do with the backup? Is this archive,
transport, ????
I did not see your original post. Are you on the LISTSERVER or some other
news process? If you have not joined the listserver please do, a lot more
of us will see your postings then.
