Resolution

FASTCOPY sets the RC to 0 because IEBCOPY does, that is, FASTCOPY is doing what IEBCOPY does.

Use the following parameter, PARM=RC4NOREP on the EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY, it sets a return code of X'04' when a module is not copied from the source data set to the target data set because REPLACE was not specified.
It works for both IEBCOPY and FASTCOPY, it is a standard IEBCOPY feature, hence not documented explicitly in the PDSMAN documentation.
