I wish I had some examples of when it worked, but I don't. I can tell you it
was under z/OS 2.4 and before we had any z16's, that it worked, we now are on
2.5 and have z/16s. We've had IBM tape for about 3 or 4 years and have not
changed that JCL at all. We didn't need to use copygroup previously, but we
have gotten rid of PDSMAN that could be causing this, which I'm thinking is
more then likely the case, as PDSMAN had a lot of hooks and probably would have
allowed for wildcard characters. It would be nice to get confirmation though.
Here is the error that we get when we try to copy while excluding $READ, and
FTPTOOL*.

Are you sure that it's the same input? The last I looked, the asterisk was only
valid under a COPYGROUP.

We recently uploaded the latest version of Tapetools. That was a success, but
when we ran our version of $$CPYLIB which is shown below we had issues.
//COPY EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//PDSIBM DD DSN=&TOOLHLQ..IBMTOOLS.JCL,DISP=SHR
//PDSOUT DD DSN=&USERHLQ..&SITE..&PRIMARY..JCL,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//*
// PEND *** END OF COPY PROC ***
//*
//STEP EXEC COPYLIB
//COPY.SYSIN DD *
COPY OUTDD=PDSOUT,INDD=PDSIBM
EXCLUDE MEMBER=(STATSORT,EXPIRE,$$CPYLIB,$$TAILOR,$READ*,FTPTOOL*)
IEBCOPY no longer seems to work with the $READ*, and FTPTOOL* we removed those
and it was fine. Does anybody know if there where changes to IEBCOPY that may
prevent this, as it worked fine in 2022? We are hoping to complete work on
tape tools this week for all our systems, and realize that we may have to copy
the $READ*, and FTPTOOL* over to our own library and delete afterwards but
before $$TAILOR, but would like to avoid if possible as we are training some
new people to take this over.
