Re: Tape to tape copy jcl

I realize you may be doing a mass migration and am only pointing this out as a base for ideas... I created a REXX routine that could be invoked from a TSO DSLIST where the user could simply type TT beside the dataset name and the routine would calculate the next generation for that dataset and
