Also review COPYGROUP COPYGRP
They behave a little different Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2020 8:34 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Using IEBCOPY COPYGROUP to unload a PDS member with aliases Are the members Source or LOAD modules?

According to IBM's documentation: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idau100/cpogrp.htm this should be possible: For unloading groups: Using COPYGRP: PDSE to PS Using COPYGROUP: PDSE to PS, or PDS to PS IBM even called out this new capability in a 2013 SHARE presentation. But this is contradicted by the usage notes: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.idau100/u1096b.htm COPYGROUP cannot be used to load to a PDS or unload from a PDS. Some basic tests on my V2R3 system confirm that COPYGROUP can be used to unload PDSE members, but not PDS members (whether data members or load modules) Am I missing something, or misreading the documentation? Is there a different way to unload a PDS member along with its aliases?
