This will create a SYSUT2 with RECFM=U, perhaps contrary to the OP's
requirement, particularly if the objective is to repair the DCB.
It might be better to override the attributes of SYSUT1 to values
compatible with the actual data, and allow IEBGENER to copy the
overriding atributes to SYSUT2.  A similar technique might work with
REPRO, but the attributes of OUTFILE must also be explicitly specified.
