Use the SMCOPY command to copy:

A member of a partitioned data set into another member or into a sequential data set.

A sequential data set into another sequential data set or into a member of a partitioned data set.
```

The data sets or members you copy must have:

A variable (V) or fixed (F) record format. (The records can be blocked or unblocked.)
A logical record length of no more than 256 bytes.

To copy other types of data sets, such as load libraries, which have a record format of U, use ISPF/PDF.
