This link shows some new facilities to allocate, copy, delete and more any
normal data set. VSAM data sets can be allocated just like PS or PDS data
sets, with similar panels. You can see them here:

I can't actually show it here, but here is a panel that I coded for LS in
preparation for the Linux version of Jol.
The idea is that you can code LS without parameters, and a panel will show
to prompt the user for information. If the LS command is coded with
parameters, then it will be executed without the Panel.
Here is a rough representation of the LS panel:

Would that be useful?
COPY is similar. It shows all the Linux options if no parameters are coded.
