Lizette,
The system default for DFDSS dump is set at 256K. Isn't that fantastic? Now
there is no way we can ever copy a tape to dasd because the lasrgest blksize
supported for a DASD dataset is 32760 bytes. IBM increased the blksize for
tape but not DASD. Brilliant !!!!!!!
Thanks to all who responded.

@JohnD
I think the problem is the LBI. The DUMP tape was create with a HUGE Blksize.
You cannot copy that to DASD. Maybe you can change the way the DUMP tape is
created to use a BLKSIZE like 32760. Then you can probably use COPYDUMP to
copy it to DISK.
>From what I can tell, you could only copy tape to tape.
Maybe restore the files to a disk, then backup the disk manually with DFDSS
