Thank you all so much.
It seems that there is a very good reason for leaving it as unloaded
PDSes. XMIT is good.
And so it shall remain!!! (Well for the time being, anyway).
I will look into the other (non SMP) ways. It works now. So that's fine.
Many thanks again,
Clem Clarke

Some sites do not have dfdss.
A common non-SMPE method is to use the XMIT command to convert each library
into a sequential file, copy all of these XMIT datasets into a PDS and then run
XMIT again to convert the PDS into a sequential file. To unpack you run RECEIVE
to create the PDS of XMIT files then RECEIVE again for each member.
Or you could create a Portable Software Instance using an SMPE utility - this
can be unpacked using z/OSMF (which runs an SMPE utility).

about using DFDSS to backup datasets.
You may then want to use AMATERSE to terse it.
I have some JCL to restore an MQ package
//S1 EXEC PGM=AMATERSE,PARM=UNPACK
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=COLIN.MQ933.TRS
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=&&TEMP,SPACE=(CYL,(100,100)),DISP=(,PASS),

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*.S1.SYSUT2

This is soooo much easier than trying to use SMP/E

Since you don't have a good understanding of SMP/e, you might want to
consider DFDSS instead of SMP/e.
Creating a function is the easy part. SMP/e is a philosophy that requires
planning, setup and tools. Are you going to apply PTF's and apars, need
SMP/e zones, UCLIN, JCLIN, link to modules, object modules and much more.
If you have a problem with pre and coreqs, do you have the skills to
resolve it.

I have some PDSes that need to be installed with SMP on Z/OS.
A couple are text files, one an object file and one a load module PDS.
They all have multiple members.
What would be the easiest way to create a files that can be installed
with SMP?
Many thanks,
