dasdcopy64 is rejecting shadow file

[Rakeshreddy11]

Hi,

I am using Hyperion 4.6 with CCKD (not 64) and shadow files. I tried to convert them to 64 using dasdcopy64:

E:\diskfiles\Herc4.6> dasdcopy64 F:\diskfiles\c4sys1.comp sf=F:\diskfiles\shadowfileszos24\c4sys1_1 F:\diskfiles\c4sys1new.comp

HHC02594E Syntax error: shadow files invalid if input not compressed
HHC00007I Previous message from function 'syntax' at dasdcopy64.c(685)

But the c4sys1.comp is a CCKD file with shadow files which I am using daily.

What am i missing here?

Looks like the disk is not being recognised by Hercules.

From Hyperion log:

Before I used dasdcopy64:
