I am trying to copy a member of a pds to another pds. I tried using smcopy, but I kept the following error:

ADF114I record format of data sets not consistant with operation being performed.

Both the from and to datasets have the same format.

Why am I getting this error?

How can I do the copy? I want to create a REXX exec to copy several datasets.

What is "smcopy"? It's not a standard TSO or other utility command.

In TSO/E Command Reference SC28-1969 there is a refernece to SMCOPY.

Jerryc314,

what are the attributes of the source and target dataset? Using SMCOPY you can only copy fixed or varibale block datasets. Check this link for a detailed explanation of ADF114I

Superk : SMCOPY is indeed a standard TSO command. Check this link for deatailed explanation of SMCOY command (z/OS V1R1.0 TSO/E Command Reference manual)

Hope this helps...

Yes it is. It is part of Session Manager.

Do you really need to use Session Manager to do this? Can you use ISPF 3.3 instead?

For further help can you please post the allocation attributes of the PDSs you are copying from and to and the SMCOPY command you issued.

I have about 200 members in four different pds's I want to copy into one pds. I don't want to use 3.3 and have to pick 200 different entries. I want to write a REXX exec to do the copy, using an available command.

Why not use LMMCOPY then?
