Thanks for the info. Fortunately, I'm copying between 3390 devices only
so IEBCOPY without copymod should be fine. I did try some tests, for
example I used copymod to copy my SYS1.LINKLIB and noticed the space
utilization decreased. The linklib had been installed from a server pac
with a blksize=32760 and i was copying to a dataset with the same blksize
so I was confused by the utilization change. Does copymod tidy up things
during the copy???

A couple possibilities:

o Might the server pac have been created by IEBCOPY from a library
having a smaller BLKSIZE?

o Might there have been vacancies in SYS1.LINKLIB due to deletion
of members during installation or subsequently?
