The PDSCOPY procedure on z/OS fails with "Invalid input DDname, device, file organization or record format" when you copy PDS/E libraries


In SAS® 9.4M9 (TS1M9), PROC PDSCOPY on z/OS might fail with the following error if the library that you try to copy is a partitioned data set extended (PDS/E):

ERROR: Invalid input DDname, device, file organization or record format.

If the PDS/E being copied uses the RECFM=U record format, then the failure is correct. If the PDS/E uses any other REFCM= record format, then the failure should not occur. 

There is no workaround for this issue.
