A Correct answer
Explanation

In SMS (Storage Management Subsystem), the DD LIKE parameter allows you to copy the attributes of one existing SMS dataset to another dataset being created. This is a convenient way to ensure consistent dataset properties. There is no DD Copy or Refer parameter in JCL, and attributes CAN be copied between SMS datasets - this is a standard feature.
