I'm writing a REXX to copy a bunch of datasets.  The input datasets are
catalogued; the output is to be uncatalogued and written to a particular
DASD volume.  I figure to use LMCOPY for PDS members, and for flat files -
since ISPF doesn't seem to have an analogous command for them - SMCOPY.

But wait:  Where's the SMCOPY syntax to specify an uncatalogued dataset on a
DASD volume?  I don't see it.

There's something about sending the dataset to a "stream", but I don't know
what a stream is.  Is it a DD?  Probably not; I'm sure IBM knows how to
spell "DD".
