I used DYNCOPY to copy a file, but output file and input file do not have the same characteristics. I used COPY with BLKSIZE/OBLKSIZE and FORMAT=U.

Issue/Introduction

Description:

I used DYNCOPY to copy a file using BLKSIZE/OBLKSIZE and FORMAT=U, but the resulting file have a block size of 32760, so I'm missing data's.

Solution:

When the input of a DYNCOPY is not a catalog controlled dataset, it checks the input card to see if a record length was specified. If not specified, we default block size to 32760.
For example to copy a FAVER2 output tape, the command will be:
"COPY,BLKSIZE=56664,OBLKSIZE=56664,RECFM=U
