Issue/Introduction

We are using PDSMAN FASTCOPY to unload a PDS of program objects (LOADLIB). We want to load this into a PDSE. The PDSE load fails:

//COPY EXEC PGM=IEBCOPY 
//FCOPYON DD DUMMY 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* 
//SYSIN DD * 
* V4PDS -) SEQ 
COPY INDD=((INTDC,R)),OUTDD=HDSEQ 
S M=TESTPGM 
* SEQ -) PDSE 
COPY INDD=((HDSEQ,R)),OUTDD=HDPDE 
S M=TESTPGM 
/* 
//INTDC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LOADLIB.PDS
//HDPDE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LOADLIB.PDSE
//HDSEQ DD DISP=SHR,DSN=LOADLIB.SEQ
...
FCO477A IGW01160T NON-PROGRAM OBJECT MEMBER ENCOUNTERED DURING 
FCO477A LOAD PROCESSING OF A PROGRAM LIBRARY. MEMBER TESTPGM WAS NOT LOADED

Environment

PDSMAN 7.7

Cause

The unloaded PDSE (program object) is in a different format so you cannot unload a PDS and reload that to PDSE (or vice versa). 

Resolution

There are a couple of approaches that can be used:

• Copy directly from the PDS to the PDSE, or
• Reload as PDS and then copy to PDSE.

Additional Information

Selective FastCopy Processing

Processing of IEBCOPY COPY, COPYMOD, and ALTERMOD operations can be selectively enabled or disabled at the job step level.

• FastCopy processing can be disabled for a selected job step by including the following DD statement in that step:

//FCOPYOFF  DD DUMMY

Note: This override is ignored if the output is a PDSE or program object library for which PDSMAN has interest (as defined by one or more PDSMAN Initialization Control Statements) and the input is also a PDSE or program object library.

• FastCopy processing can be enabled for a selected job step by including the following DD statement in that step:

//FCOPYON  DD DUMMY

Specifying these DD statements overrides the value coded on the $IEBCOPY FASTCOPY= parameter.
