Hi Kolusu ,
May be , my question was not proper...
A job can be created to be submitted by the REXX to copy the VSAM file to PS file.
But my problem , is how to get the RECFM , LRECL of the VSAM file , so that we can create a similar PS file dynamically.
Please let me know , how to extract those attributes of VSAM file from REXX to create a similar PS file. Once PS file is in place , copying the content will not be a problem.. _________________ Priya Ranjan Mohanty

pzmohanty,
*Sigh* with SORT utility you don't have to code DCB parameters. The output dataset will have the same DCB properties as the input dataset.
Here is a sample code. I also used the sort parm VSAMEMT so that you can even copy Empty vsam clusters
