I'm trying to use IEBCOPY to unload a single PDS member that has aliases.
According to IBM's documentation:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idau100/cpogrp.htm
this should be possible:
For unloading groups:
Using COPYGRP: PDSE to PS
Using COPYGROUP: PDSE to PS, or PDS to PS
IBM even called out this new capability in a 2013 SHARE presentation.
But this is contradicted by the usage notes:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idau100/u1096b.htm
COPYGROUP cannot be used to load to a PDS or unload from a PDS.
Some basic tests on my V2R3 system confirm that COPYGROUP can be used to
unload PDSE members, but not PDS members (whether data members or load
modules)
Am I missing something, or misreading the documentation? Is there a
different way to unload a PDS member along with its aliases?
Thanks,
