Explanation

IEBGENER is a classic IBM utility used to copy sequential datasets, generate partitioned datasets, and alter physical characteristics. Through control statements like RECORD, it can reformat records, change logical record lengths (LRECL), and rearrange fields. Distractors like IEHLIST and IEHPROGM are directory/catalog management utilities rather than data copy/reformating tools.
