These are solution files that the vendor sends to us, so we have no
control of what to do. They tell us that the target is a PDS or PDSE,
but I was just looking for a backup method to try and ensure that what
they say matches the file. As I'm sure you know, if they unloaded a PDS
file with load modules, you can't take the unloaded file and then try to
load it into a PDSE. Likewise, if a PDSE with program objects was
unloaded, you can't load it into a standard PDS.

Why not have them use TSO XMIT files like we do?

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
