The situation.
We share a couple of Z13's with another (larger client). Z13 B is where we
run our development LPARs and Z13 A is production.
For critical business reasons an online application on our production LPAR
needs to be highly available and that means in a parallel sysplex. But our

Good idea, since IEBCOPY can SELECT a pattern and/or a list of members and will
perform
the operation in a single CALL.
I think you may be at the point where you need to ditch the LMCOPY interface
and directly invoke IEBCOPY.

I doubt that you will get what you need that way. PL/I subaloocates storage
withing big blocks, and doing your own GETMAIN/STORAGE instead of using native
PL/I support may make matters worse.
MVS also suballocates storage, and I know of no GUPI to run the chains with

Agreed.
However my explanation is a little bit different.
I know ISPF, JCL, etc. However I also know GUI. It can be old fashioned
Windows GUI, different OS/2 GUI, modern and less productive "current
Windows" GUI, Linux GUI, etc.
What I don't like is zOSMF setup and customization. It's horrible.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello Lionel,
I am assuming that dataset LBDYCK.SPFLOG1.LIST contain the IEBCOPY output log
information?
And that this file was automatically allocated when your Batch JOB ran. (You
did not pre-allocate before running the JOB).
I want to try to use my own dataset name for this.
Something like:
1. z/OSMF supports REST API - so I can call it from off platform
automation - and use the same techniques for all platforms they support
2. ISPF dialogs and saving state and workflow management etc have some
limitations. z/OSMF fixes some of these
3. We've gone away from Silos,
