Hello Mace. I would suggest you not to use DSS to copy your IODF, use IDCAMS instead.
1. User IDCAMS REPRO to copy your current IODF into a temporary sequential file 2. Define your new IODF 3. Load your new IODF with the contents of the temporary file using another IDCAMS REPRO Here a sample. //IDCAMS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //INPUT DD DSN=YOUR.ACTUAL.IODF.CLUSTER,DISP=SHR //OUTPUT DD DISP=(,CATLG),DSN=YOUR.SEQ.IODF, // DCB=(RECFM=FB,BLKSIZE=4096), // SPACE=(CYL,(XX,XX),RLSE) //SYSIN DD * REPRO IFILE(INPUT) OFILE(OUTPUT) //* To REPRO back, simply change INPUT and OUTPUT DSNs to fit your names.
