RELATED IDEAS

default BLKSIZE = 27998 used in copy command in ID/z

Copying via ISPF asks for these options:

Allocation Options:

1. Allocate using the attributes of:

T03119A.somedata

2. Specify allocation attributes



Use existing SMS attributes for option 1

So it‘s at users hands…

When I read your documentation, it doesn't fit to your IDz ‚Allocate like‘;

Because you don't ask for the same parameters as ISPF (see above).

From my point of view, ‚ALLOC LIKE‘ and ‚COPY USING Attributes‘ should behave the same as in ISPF.
