That is what I am talking about. However if you look at a typical programmer or production JCL you won't see that in it.

No it's not faster.

DFSMSdss calls repro under the covers for most VSAM data set copy operations, but buffering is limited to whatever was used when the data set was defined.

I hope everyone uses a large BUFSP or BUFND value for REPRO (like >849920).

Thanks. I understand. DFDSS is certainly a more efficient data copier than
IDCAMS REPRO!

My intent really only was to make sure I'm not missing a DFDSS option
that would do this. I didn't find anything the like in the manual.
That's why I didn't post details.


So, how about doing trying this:


I was curious if it was feasible to perform the task using DFDSS.
That's why I haven't YET tried AMS REPRO. Will consider this path next.
