I guess it will depend on what you are trying to accomplish There could be many solutions besides IEBCOPY
You can use DFDSS DUMP/RESTORE function to take it as is and restore it as is You can use TSO XMIT (but your shop may limit how many records you can off load If it does use TSO XMIT Dataset(name here) OUTDSN(transmission dataset) Then use your favorite transfer Program (FTP, Fillezilla, etc) to move to new home then receive You might be able to use TRSMAIN Pack/Unpack - I think it handles PDS Datasets now There could be other vendor products that can do this as well What problem are you trying to solve by knowing PDS vs PDSe datasets? I rarely care any more what they are.

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).
