John, Based on error ADR331E, it appears that the only way you could do this would be if you had created the original tape backup using a block size of 32K - or 27998. That message explicitly states that you cannot copy a dump dataset to something with a smaller block size.

However I am encountering problems doing so.I tried using DCB=BLKSIZE=32760 to no avail. I tried running the job without the DCB and it returned the same result (ADR324E). According to the doc(SC23-6868-01) this is feasible: "With the COPYDUMP command, you can make from 1 to 255 copies ofDFSMSdss-produced dump data. The data to be copied, a sequential data set, canbe on a tape or a DASD volume, and copies can be written to a tape or a DASDvolume."
