Howard, First, if by 'flat files' you mean sequential files, then I don't think IEBCOPY is want you want. You should use IEBGENER to copy flat/sequential files.
But, for IEBCOPY, here's an example: //S1 EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //IN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX //OUT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=XXX.NEW //SYSIN DD * C I=IN,O=OUT /* // The 'IN' DD statement defines the input data set. The 'OUT' DD statement defines the output data set. If you want to assign the output to a tape file then you will have to code UNIT=TAPE (or whatever you define you tape drives as using an esoteric name) and you may also need a VOL= parameter as well. When you copy an input PDS to an output sequential file, IEBCOPY 'unloads' the PDS to the sequential file. Going in the opposite direction, IEBCOPY will 'load' the sequential file back into a PDS. If you do use IEBGENER, the SYSUT1 DD statement defines the input file and the SYSUT2 statement defines the output file. IEBGENER will copy the input file to the output file without any control cards (SYSIN DD) and the output file will have the same file attributes as the input file. HTH HITACHI DATA SYSTEMS Raymond E.

Would anyone out on the list have a sample job to do this which the are willing to share? Any help would be appreciated...Friday night and I would like to go home before midnight.
