It is irrelevant where the blame lies for the document. I should have just said that it got the capabilities of COPYGRP and COPYGROUP switched.
You might try copying from the PDS to a temporary PDSE, and then you can unload that. You can work on where and which COPYG* would work best. I experimented some, but not with SELECT. In fact I tried 9 different operations, but the permutations were getting out of hand. sas On Thu, Jul 2, 2020 at 2:51 PM Steve Goetze <goe...@dovetail.com> wrote: > I'm not sure that I agree that this was a tech writer command mixup.
