But it sounds like one still needs to go through quite some contortions to keep 
old settings/customization.

In any case, I have now divorced just about everything from what is delivered 
on ADCD on my system, but I got a few scars this weekend when I could not get 
my system up because the linklist was broken (after the second library). The 
linklist was broken because IEBCOPY repeatedly destroyed the DCB on a copy 
operation for a PDSE:

//COPY125 EXEC  PGM=IEBCOPY,REGION=0M
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SIEALNKE
//SYSUT2   DD DISP=(,KEEP),DSN=SYS1.SIEALNKE.N,DSNTYPE=LIBRARY,
//         SPACE=(TRK,(4000,0,0)),UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=TGT001
//SYSIN    DD  *
 COPY INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2

This JCL results in IEBCOPY 'unloading' SYS1.SIEALNKE into arecfm=VS data set 
(but ending with RC=0) which brings linklist to a screeching halt. For other 
PDSEs, the same JCL (for other DSNs) dutifully copies the data set, using the 
DCB information from the input. I had 3 broken PDSEs, two of those in linklist. 
Brought IPL to a screeching halt, first with wait state for abend806, later 
when JES2 didn't come up. SYS1.SIEALNKE is the third data set in the linklst 
concatenation.

When I fully specify the output DCB, the copy operation works. I don't know if 
this is specific to running iebcopy under z1090 code or not since servicelink 
doesn't let me login today. But I know of one other problem with IEBCOPY only 
occuring under z1090 code (we have it too, but not the fixing ptf since our 
distribution is too old.)
