Converting PDSE to PDS
Converting PDSE to PDS
IEBCOPY can be used to convert a Partitioned Dataset (PDS) to a Partitioned Dataset Extended (PDSE). A PDSE is an extended version of a PDS that offers additional features and benefits, such as improved data organization, support for larger datasets, and better performance. To convert a PDS to a PDSE, create a new PDSE and copy the PDS data to the new PDSE.
Practical Example -
Scenario - Copy PDS to PDSE.

Explaining Example -
- SYSUT1 DD DSN=MATEPK.IEBCOPY.INPPDS - Specifies the input PDS.
- SYSUT2 DD DSN=MATEPK.IEBCOPY.INPPDSE - Specifies the PDSE that needs to be created similar to PDS. IEBCOPY copies all the members from input PDS to new PDSE.
