I could be wrong, but I had the vague impression that allocating
datasets via IEFBR14 did not *physically* allocate them on DASD - but
that they were physically allocated only when an 'OPEN for WRITE' was
issued against them. BTW I cannot check this, as I have no access to a
mainframe (8+ years.)
Oh I figured that. But that's just a minor additional hurdle.

Hi Radoslaw,
Regarding ISPF statistics, you can specify the option STATS=OFF to prevent
the DSC function updating the ISPF statistics for PDS/E members that are
copied. The default is STATS=ON, which updates the statistics for each
member copied.
Thanks,

My point was that if you allocate the dataset with a very small primary and

My goal is to copy several PDS datasets, hundreds of text members.

Manual ISPF operations is also not an option.

Maybe include how the TSO password used to be stored (in clear of course) in
