IEBCOPY Insights

What is IEBCOPY?

IEBCOPY is a utility program in IBM's z/OS operating system (formerly MVS). It is primarily used for copying, merging, and converting partitioned data sets (PDS) and partitioned data sets extended (PDSE). It's commonly used for tasks like backing up libraries, moving members between libraries, reblocking datasets for performance, and converting PDS to PDSE format, or vice versa. IEBCOPY provides a range of control statements to specify the datasets involved and the actions to be performed, such as copying only specific members or excluding certain members during the copy process.
