I don't think you would have any issues unloading it as PDSE. I've used IEBCOPY to convert from PDS to PDSE. Use COPYMOD if it's a load.

Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails. Hey everyone, here is an odd question for y'all. Is there any way I can tell from an IEBCOPY unload file (that I received from a vendor) whether it is an unload of a PDS or an unload of a PDS/E? Since IEBCOPY is pretty particular about only loading full libraries back to the same source type, I was hoping I could look at byte 42 or something like that to know that I need to load this to a PDS/E. Anybody have any hope for me here? (I know I can ask the vendor, but I wanted to confirm programmatically if possible).
