how to create a new pds with the structure of an existing
pds?

Answer Posted / joseph louis pargas

This is one way without the aid of any ISV tools.
Logon to TSO/ISPF. Select 3.2. Enter name of model DSN, hit
enter. The data set will appear along with attributes. Hit
enter so original panel is displayed. Type A (ALLOCATE) on
option line and type over the model DSN with new DSN. Hit
enter - you can make any last minutes changes (VOLSER is
pretty common). Hit enter again, and you should have a
message saying it's been allocated or not.

You can accomplish the same thing with JCL. but this is the
fastest. You don't need to go 3.4, unless you don't know
the model name.
