Right, first thing learned. This info is contained in the DFSMSdss Diagnosis Guide which is unfortunately not available to all user. > You can't copy a DSS backup (or an FDR backup) with > IEBGENER, the output will not be usable). Second thing learned, I didn't know this. You guys and IBM confirmed this, too. I will have to use COPYDUMP and be glad that in the past we had no need to use the IEBGENER copies of the dumps. They would have been useless :-( Thanks very much to all who answered to my post. Walter Marguccio P.S.
