Multi-step, but universal - you can transfer any number of files and any
file type.
Small assumption: both sides do have DSS.
I use it for VSAM files.
Personally I created small REXX tool which read list of PDS/PDSE and PS
datasets to transport, then XMIT them, then copy them to big PDS, then
XMIT the PDS to sigle FB 80 PS.
Advantage: nested XMITed files can be browsed on PC.

And maybe combinations! I seem to remember doing this one time,
working with what was available:
DFDSS full volume dump
XMIT
IND$FILE
Thumb drive transfer
IND$FILE
RECEIVE
DFDSS restore

I guess it will depend on what you are trying to accomplish
There could be many solutions besides IEBCOPY
You can use DFDSS DUMP/RESTORE function to take it as is and restore
it as is
You can use TSO XMIT (but your shop may limit how many records you
can off load
If it does use TSO XMIT Dataset(name here) OUTDSN(transmission
dataset) Then use your favorite transfer Program (FTP, Fillezilla,
etc) to move to new home then receive
You might be able to use TRSMAIN Pack/Unpack - I think it handles PDS
Datasets now
There could be other vendor products that can do this as well
What problem are you trying to solve by knowing PDS vs PDSe datasets?
I rarely care any more what they are.
