Here's what I get: SESSION MANAGER NOT ACTIVE - SMCOPY IGNORED in response
to the SMCOPY command.

Interesting. I knew that the 'SM' in 'SMCOPY' stood for
session manager, but my recent experience has been that
the SMCOPY command has always worked. Must have lucked
out in that session manager was always running where I
happened to test it.
Can you show us the actual command you issued?
Kind regards,

I don't think it's perceived as boring, certainly it's perceived as user
hostile. Take Pauls cp command example, it's easy to copy files
using a simple command. For those that prefer GUIs they can drag and
drop or
copy/paste. On the mainframe one has no choice but
to run JCL. JCL certainly is an antique, and a very unpleasant one.
Actually, in a TSO session (analogous to a UNIX session),
you can use the SMCOPY command without JCL. It's just
that most people aren't aware of it.
