It does, yes.  Or so the documentation claims; I'm still debugging so I haven't 
confirmed it yet, but I believe it.  When I wrote the below, I was depending on 
the note that says LMCOPY is for copying members; I hadn't yet gotten around to 
reading the details.  Sorry for the trouble, folks.

According to:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=lmds-parameters

Doesn't LMCOPY operate on PS data sets ("flat files") simply by omitting the 
from-member-name and to-member-name parameters?

The restriction of LM services I have encountered is the data-ids must refer to 
F1 DSCBs; they can't operate on tape, spool, or UNIX files.
