You can use the z/OS® shell commands cp (copy) and mv (move) to copy or move files:

• Between the z/OS UNIX file system and MVS™ data sets
• Within the z/OS UNIX file system.

With the cp and mv commands you can specify whether the file or data set is to be copied or moved as text, binary, or as an executable. You can also append or truncate suffixes. For examples of using these commands, see:

• Using cp to copy a sequential data or PDS member into a z/OS UNIX file
• Using cp to copy a PDS to a z/OS UNIX directory
• Using cp to copy a z/OS UNIX file into a sequential data set or PDS member
• Using cp to copy z/OS UNIX files into a PDS or PDSE
• Copying files within the z/OS UNIX file system
• Using cp to copy executables between MVS and z/OS UNIX
