I don't know what you mean by "expansion", but the fine documentation for MVS utilities is here.

So, based on the document provided by ofer71, you have:

IEBCOMPR (Compare Data Sets) Program
IEBCOPY (Library Copy) Program
IEBDG (Test Data Generator) Program
IEBEDIT (Edit Job Stream) Program
IEBGENER (Sequential Copy/Generate Data Set) Program
IEBIMAGE (Create Printer Image) Program
IEBISAM Program
IEBPTPCH (Print-Punch) Program
IEBUPDTE (Update Data Set) Program
IEHINITT (Initialize Tape) Program
IEHLIST (List System Data) Program
IEHMOVE (Move System Data) Program
IEHPROGM (Program Maintenance) Program
IFHSTATR (List ESV Data) Program

Out of curiosity, this is the second post recently where someone has stated that IDCAMS = Integrated Data Cluster Access Method Service. I'm curious where that definition is coming from?

Superk,
I too got the expansion of IDCAMS==>Integrated Data Cluster Access Method Service through our forum only.
So only I was interested in getting expansion of JCL utilities also.

So that expansion for IDCAMS is right or wrong?

Thanks,
Muthuvel.
