Why is the "//" required? It might be presumed. But it leaves syntactic leeway for future extension to UNIX<->UNIX copy. >https://www.dovetail.com/docs/zos-utilities/dsp-ref_getpds.html There's no "-l record" option. That format, provided by allocation is seldom used, but needed to support files containing a line-separator as data. (Is this "l4", not mentioned in the list of option values?) >https://dovetail.com/docs/zos-utilities/dsp-ref_putpds.html > is -i l4 or FILE DATA(RECORD) supported? If the -l or -s option is omitted, are the tag values of the source files individually respected? (pax does some of this, however poorly.) JCL respects the FILEDATA of a tagged source file (undocumented) How are UNICODE conversion errors treated/reported?
