Re: COPYING EXHPDM VOLUME BACKUP TO NON-HPDM OUTPUT - SOLVED
Elardus, I found the problem. Under z/OS 01.13.00 DFDSS block size has been changed to 262144. In order for the copy job to run I coded the BLZSIZE in the ouput statement of the JCL . Thanks.

Groan, another cr*ppy typo/misstatement from myself... :-( It must be: But I find it weird that even you did the correct thing (not specify the BLKSIZE) as per the message ADR331E explanation, you still get the message.

Re: COPYING EXHPDM VOLUME BACKUP TO NON-HPDM OUTPUT - SOLVED
Just to add a side note. The blksize of 262144 looks like LBI was implement. The Large Block Interface allows tape drives to write out really large blksizes. Products like DFDSS might need to have smaller ones, so I always recommend coding BLKSIZE=32760 on the DFDSS JCL. When I try to use FTP to transmit the LBI tape, it fails with an error. But with BLKSIZE=32760, it can use FTP to transmit. Connect Direct I think can handle the larger blksizes for transmission. When LBI is implemented, unless you code the blksize, it will usually chose the largest one.
