Hi Dick,
Nobody here, me included, has ever used copytree. None of us know much about USS at all, although I am determined to learn - if it kills me! I need to end up with the same structure and directory names that I have now, just with more space available. Can copytree do that? How would I mount the new and old HFS files for the copytree process?

Whenever possible, I like to stick with OMVS copy methods when dealing with OMVS files rather than worry about DFDSS or FDRCOPY. Just a personal preference.
