Thanks Patrick. I tried your suggestion and it worked.

I read this when looking up the LIKE parameter:
Note: This parameter is used by MVS only if SMS (System Managed Storage)
is installed and operational. If SMS is not active, use the
DCB=dsname subparameter to perform the equivalent function.
Is SMS active? I get the same results as Greg when I try it.
Also, how many directory blocks does the original dataset have?
