And maybe combinations! I seem to remember doing this one time, working
with what was available:
DFDSS full volume dump
XMIT
IND$FILE
Thumb drive transfer
IND$FILE
RECEIVE
DFDSS restore

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.

Subject: Identifying PDS/E or PDS in IEBCOPY Unload
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).
Billy
