Well ... at times when dealing with PDSE I had problems with copy or even 
copymod (I don’t remember what the problems were) - as lonh as the source or 
target was a PDSE, I found COPYGRP the best option

(te problem may have had to do with copying ALIAS , but I am niot 100% sure)

It depends. Do you want to copy all or specific members?

PS: I have doctored your JCL sample for better readability! ;-)

//COPYJCL1  EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY                   
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                         
//SYSUT3   DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,50))   
//SYSUT4   DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(50,50))   
//INDD     DD DISP=OLD,DSN=MYDSN.CLIP.SHR      
//OUTDD    DD DISP=OLD,DSN=MYDSN.CLIP.SHR.NEW  
//SYSIN    DD *                                
  COPY INDD=INDD,OUTDD=OUTDD                   
/*                                             
//         


>Is the COPY command sufficient?

It should be, a$$uming you want to copy ALL members without any reblocking with 
COPYMOD and that both datasets RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, etc. are the same. 

Perhaps you can drop SYSUT3 and SYSUT4 and add this one:

//SYSOUT   DD SYSOUT=*

Are you getting any error message(s)?
