I meant to say that ** COPYMOD ** in IEBCOPY no longer defaults to MXBLK=32670. COPY isn't going to reblock at all, which is fine if your output library's blocksize is equal to or greater than the largest text record in the input.

Are you really trying to reblock to 32760? Note that IEBCOPY no longer defaults to MAXBLK=32670. The default now is the output library's blocksize. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=program-copying-reblocking-load-modules -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Jake Anderson Sent: Monday, October 27, 2025 11:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Load module copy - ISPF or IEBCOPY Hello Is there any difference between ISPF copy and IEBCOPY load module copy ? I tried running IEBCOPY with copymod operation with replace option but it still ends with return code 04. The only one message is different in log was that IEB19CI member XXXXXX copied AS IS without reblocking, format is scatter-load . ********* MEMBER WAS NOT REBLOCKED ********** Syntax I used was COPYMOD INDD=SYSUT1,OUTDD=SYSUT2,MAXBLK=32760 SELECT MEMBER=((XXXXXXX,,R)) Even though the module got copied but why did it ended with return code =04 with any specific error mesaage ?
